Asphalt road surface is the most widely recycled material in the USA, both by gross tonnage and by percentage. According to a report issued by the Federal Highway Administration and the US Environmental Protection Agency, 80% of the asphalt from road surfaces' that is removed each year during widening and resurfacing projects is reused as part of new roads, roadbeds, shoulders and embankments.
