In fact, it is among the top recycled products in the country, having more than 100 million tons reclaimed each year. Asphalt is an aggregate material that can be melted down and reused over and over again, just like gold or other precious metals. This is why it is totally recyclable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Underground Water Tables<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another environmentally friendly characteristic of asphalt pavement is that it supports the local water table. It does this by retaining porous and permeable qualities. This means water can run right through it, stopping water runoff and returning water back to the water table. And asphalt pavement helps to filter rainfall, so the water is cleaner when it enters our rivers and streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Longevity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because perpetual asphalt pavement can last up to 20 years, even in high traffic areas, local wildlife, landscaping, and traffic are not interrupted for long periods of time with pavement installations and repairs. Once it\u2019s down it\u2019s done, and there\u2019s very little maintenance required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Indianapolis Asphalt Paving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Call ACI Asphalt and Concrete at 317-549-1833<\/strong> for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/services\/asphalt-paving.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"commercial asphalt paving (opens in a new tab)\">commercial asphalt paving<\/a> repair and service in Indianapolis and its surrounding areas.
