WASTE MANAGEMENT BUSINESS

What it is RAP ? RAP it is a mix of Bitumen and stones , sand , filler taken away from

the road. We do have a lot of milling operation when we want to replace an

asphalt layer. This material represent an old asphalt which lost from the qualities

where in the beginning. Usually this material is transported in stockpiles in diferent places. This product it was treated like a “waste” in the industry in many

countries didn’t pay attention to it. In some countries it is re-used in different ways( sub-base , or in small

percentages in hot asphalt , and it is re-used in low traffic roads as an temporary solution)

IS it Dangerous ?Most of the RAP is not dangerous for the health or

environment. But due to the history we may learn that some of the old

asphalt layers may have tar in composition. This tar was classified as carcinogenic product.

For this type of material we need to isolate this type of material and to treat it specifically.

Who owns RAP ? The actual RAP it is coming from old asphalt When it was manufactured and laid , this asphalt was paid by

the client (most of the time it is State , County Counsels or Town Ship administration)

The Roads (99%) belongs to public and are paid from public budgets

When we replace the asphalt what is happening with the property title of RAP?

Is there any organized national control in order to check out if this product is not going back in the new asphalt without the client to know and consent?

When no control policy in place RAP accumulates in huge stockpiles of waste ( UK , Germany , Hungary ) which start to produce cost !

Our proposal to youRe-using of RAP to be as much as possible. To find the best way to increase this quantities according with the

Contractor existing equipment and very low investment. To implement Country Wide RAP management so to be well known

how much is re-introduced in sistem , and how much there is available on the market.

To implement a system to control the quality of RAP , if it is re-usable , or it should be classified as dangerous

We do have the know-how to help in rising the percentage of RAP re-used in a time when the economical issues are more and more highlighted.

WE do have the know-how to make the recycling in an environmental way which which does not affect the quality of new asphalt although this is regenerated with high economy .

Value of RAP The value of RAP in some countries like Czech Republic or Canada has

a clear way where it becomes valuable. The contractors are transporting this waste in special places where becomes an inferior product to be used as a filling material.

This days a lot of equipments where developed to crush and select the different size material for re-use after.

In fact the best value of RAP is to be RE-USED in WARM Asphalt as much as possible .

The limitations are in technologies developed till today and the Chemistry side.

When we say that we are using RAP 10% it means we are recover 10to of asphalt for each 90to of new.

IMPLICATION OF GOVERNMENT

Supervise and regulate using and disposing of RAP throughout the territory

Storing the RAP – the new reclaimed asphalt will be milled according to the asphalt granulometry.

Historic stockpiles of RAP – according to the content of environmentally risk factors, their destination will be determined (hot reclaimed asphalt mix or ecologically burnt).

HOW DOES IT WORK?

cCompany’s mobile hot mix plant

Moves from one deposit to another to produce Hot Asphalt

OR

cCompany sub-

contracts another hot mix plant operator

Should prepare his production facility & equipment according to technical designs the licensed company demands of him. Additive will be delivered to them.

cEU GRANTCompany can acquire a brand new container and a fully equipped laboratory
