Solving the plastic waste problem while making better, longer-lasting asphalt and long-term infrastructure.
Higher Standards
Types of plastics we use
NewRoad® asphalt and concrete capture and repurpose bottles, grocery bags, plastic packaging, post-industrial and post-consumer waste.Only 9% of waste plastic is recycled - you can help.

Water Runoff
NewRoad® Polymers create a higher materials bond level - encapsulating hydrocarbons, microplastics and petrochemicals in the road instead of rain and wear washing them into the environment.
Better Neighborhoods
Concrete with NewRoad® is lighter weight, higher strength, faster hydrating/curing, sound absorbing, shock absorbing, waterproof, salt-resistant, mold resistant, lower shipping cost, and has a lower pollution/carbon footprint

Our roads last longer
NewRoad® Polymers increase road performance and longevity 50%+, reduce cracking by 20%, and reduce rutting 50%.Higher performance,better value.
Save Money, Build Green.
If 100% of the asphalt produced in the US used NewRoad® Polymers (1% by weight), EVERY plastic grocery bag would be reused, while improving road performance and longevity and containing microplastic and asphalt runoff.
If NewRoad® Polymers were used as 40% of the concrete volume aggregate, one third of annual packaging waste could be repurposed and encapsulated in new concrete construction
