APM Paves Parking Lot Using Mix with Toner Additive

Asphalt Paving & Maintenance (APM) recently became the first U.S. contractor to undertake a large paving job using a mix containing an additive made from recycled printer toner. This article details the origin of this project and its execution, which involved dividing the parking lot to be paved into two halves and paving one with traditional surface mix asphalt and one with the recycled toner additive to ensure that traffic volume would be equal on both halves over time. The challenges associated with the paving process are described, including issues associated with introducing the toner additive into the hot mix and dealing with the 15-mile distance of the plant from the jobsite.
