Waverley Council's latest road improvements works have helped save the equivalent of 39 tonnes of carbon dioxide from impacting on the environment. The Council is the first in Australia to use a special road surfacing material containing 70% reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) manufactured by Downer. Asphalt is one of the world's most recycled materials and councils including Waverley are increasingly looking at ways at using reclaimed asphalt in its civil works projects. According to Downer, the environmental savings achieved by the Council by using RAP is equivalent to taking 16 cars off the road for one year.
