WASTE MANAGEMENT A key initiative undertaken to reduce waste is through the development of recycled pavement products and services by our Pavement Research Centre. Pavement recycling leads to: (i) conservation of energy; (ii) preservation of the environment; (iii) reduced cost of construction; and (iv) conservation of aggregates and binders. Future Initiatives We have been working on two types of reclaimed asphalt pavement, namely: We are also in collaboration with the Taiping Municipal Council, Perak on a one-year Cold Central Plant Recycling Pilot Programme using 100% locally sourced reclaimed asphalt pavement on Jalan Taming Sari. Hot Mix Asphalt Recycling, typically contains 30% – 60% recycled asphalt which is mixed with virgin material, i.e. aggregates and bitumen, and is suitable for all types of mixes. Cold Central Plant Recycling (“CCPR”), uses 100% Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement. No heating is required but the pavement is suitable only for Dense Bituminous Macadam and Asphaltic Concrete Binder Course layer. UEM EDGENTA BERHAD 156 Sustainability Report SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
