As you are aware environmental and resource efficiency demands are becoming increasingly prominent within the 21st Century construction industry. NMS retains a large proportion of the planing arisings and recycle them to produce a RAP material for re-introduction into new asphalt products. NMS is a key regional player in circular construction and manages well in excess of 100,000 tonnes of recycled planings (“RAP”) each year.
