Once a high-quality RAP and virgin material mix is produced , it is up to the paving contractor to lay it down . If a RAP mixture is produced correctly , contractors should not have to change their paving process in any way . What they will see is a mix that works well , compacts well and doesn ’ t give them any difficulty .
State RAP usage rates vary from about 10 % to 35 %, with the average calling for a mix involving four parts virgin material and one part recycled material . If we double the amount of recycled materials in the mix , it can double the associated cost savings as well . When the ideal balance is achieved , a contractor can not only reduce its environmental impact , but can also save money .
