SteelPhalt, a Harsco Environmental Company, Launched Carbon-Negative Asphalt Product
April 25 2022 - 08:00AM
Harsco Corporation (NYSE: HSC), a global market leader
providing environmental solutions, announced SteelPhalt, a part of
its Harsco Environmental division has launched a
carbon-negative asphalt product.
SteelPhalt’s asphalt products use 95% recycled steel slag.
Prior SteelPhalt asphalt products use bitumen to bind the
asphalt. Bitumen is an oil-based binder product with a significant
carbon footprint.
SteelPhalt’s new asphalt product, called SteelSurf ECO+, uses
kraft lignin-based Lineo®, a renewable bio-based substance,
supplied by GautamZenUK in collaboration with Stora Enso, as an
alternative to bitumen dramatically reducing the product’s carbon
footprint.
“In our journey to become the world's most sustainable asphalt
supplier, this is a huge step forward,” said Julian Smith,
SteelPhalt Strategic Growth Director. “This product is an example
of what our team’s collective passion for innovation and
sustainability can deliver, while making the world a greener
place.”
