We strive to provide society the best eco-friendly and safe infrastructures. Thanks to the circular economy, we apply our innovative spirit to the development of sustainable and circular solutions in the asphalt industry to make it more efficient and longer lasting.
In our facilities, we produce the raw materials needed to manufacture more sustainable asphalts, which last longer and are able to be recycled at the end of their useful life.
Thanks to the use of bitumens and emulsions containing rejuvenators, which we produce in our plants, we can recycle and reuse highway pavement that has become deteriorated by use and weather. In this way, we are able to reduce the quantity of asphalt waste that ends up in landfills by giving it several more lives.
Additionally, we are developing our own technology that will give roads "self healing" capabilities when its materials begin to show signs of damage, therefore increasing its useful life.
We are also working on initiatives with other industrial sectors (industrial symbiosis) like tire manufacturers. Through our own development techniques, we collaborate with these industries in evaluating and reusing its waste to produce asphalts, even improving the properties of conventional asphalts.
Circular benefits
Less emissions
Reduction of atmospheric CO2 emissions.
Waste reduction
In accordance with the guidelines of the European Commission and the Government of Spain.
Less freshwater use
Reduce our water footprint.
In 2020, Repsol was awarded four Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) verified by AENOR for its bitumens with rubber dust from end-of-life tires, conventional asphalt bitumens, polymer-modified bitumens, and bituminous emulsions produced at Repsol facilities. These cradle-to-gate EPDs outline the environmental information on the products’ life cycle in order to provide transparency on environmental information for buyers.
In this way, Repsol makes verified environmental information available to its customers that’s reliable, quantifiable, and comparable, which in turn results in a documented procurement process. Therefore, Repsol is promoting a transition towards more responsible consumption models by taking another step in its commitment to the circular economy and sustainability.
