Astec (NASDAQ: ASTE) announced it has joined The Road Forward, an
industry-wide initiative of the National Asphalt Pavement
Association (NAPA), to engage, educate, and empower the U.S.
asphalt community to produce and construct net zero carbon emission
asphalt pavements by 2050.
“Sustainability is embedded in our strategy,” said Jaco van der
Merwe, Group President, Astec. “We have a responsibility to do what
is right for society and our planet, and that includes doing our
part to help combat climate change.”
Launched in January 2022, The Road Forward is a multi-year
effort of collaboration and cooperation among the asphalt industry
that will help pave the way toward innovation and implementation of
sustainable solutions.
In supporting The Road Forward, Astec is providing industry
leadership on climate action. The company’s support will help fund
ongoing research and education to aid the entire U.S. asphalt
industry in producing net zero carbon emission asphalt production
and construction by 2050.
“It is significant that Astec has committed to The Road
Forward,” said NAPA President & CEO Audrey Copeland, PhD, PE.
“Since its founding, the company has demonstrated leadership on
issues that advance our industry, the communities they serve, and
our shared climate. Astec’s support of The Road Forward propels our
collective vision for the future: sustainable communities and
commerce, connected by net zero carbon asphalt pavements.”
Astec is a founding member of NAPA and has been a leader in the
manufacture of environmentally friendly asphalt paving and
production equipment, including sustainable solutions like Cold
Planers and Double Barrel drum mixers.
“Our partnership with NAPA and The Road Forward reaffirms our
public commitment to design and manufacture heavy equipment that
helps promote a healthy environment for generations to come,” van
der Merwe said.
