Verde Resources Inc. Announces Next-Gen Carbon Sequestering BioAsphalt Exceeds Industry Specifications
Verde Resources Inc. announced that independent laboratory testing by the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) has evaluated the performance of its BioAsphalt cold recycling mix, integrating biochar and produced entirely from 100% Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP). NCAT's initial evaluation confirmed that Verde's proprietary cold-recycled asphalt mix not only meets but good key industry specifications for cold-recycled pavement materials. The mix demonstrated exceptional strength, durability, and moisture resistance, reinforcing its potential suitability for future surface-layer applications. Testing conducted in accordance with ASTM D6931 (Indirect Tensile Strength) and AASHTO T283 (Moisture Sensibility) produced results well above standard benchmarks for cold-mix asphalt. The mix achieved an Indirect Tensile Strength (ITS) of 61.8 psi (426.1 kPa) under dry conditions and 45.6 psi (314.2 kPa) under wet conditions, with a Tensile Strength Ratio (TSR) of 0.74, surpassing the industry threshold of 0.70 typically required for cold-recycled materials. These results reflect a notable improvement in cohesion, retained strength, and overall mix performance, exceeding expectations at this stage of testing. Beyond its mechanical performance, these findings underscore the potential of Verde's carbon-sequestering BioAsphalt technology as a scalable, low-carbon alternative to traditional paving materials, advancing the next generation of sustainable, high-performance infrastructure. Traditionally, cold recycling of 100% RAP has been used primarily in intermediate and base layers beneath the surface course. The ability to extend its use to the top layer, where pavement endures direct traffic loads, while simultaneously enabling carbon sequestration, marks a meaningful step forward for the industry. As a sustainable alternative to conventional road materials, Verde's burnerless, solvent-free BioAsphalt™? can be produced and applied at ambient temperatures year-round, dramatically reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. By combining biochar with 100% recycled materials, a major landfill and environmental challenge in many metropolitan areas, Verde transforms waste into a carbon-sequestering surface course application that offers a compelling, high-value-added alternative within the industry. With vast reserves of RAP readily available in many urban and nearby surrounding areas, the solution is not only sustainable but also scalable and economically practical, empowering industry partners to reduce costs while generating carbon credits that flow directly to their bottom line. Verde is redefining what it means to go green. too often seen as a luxury that comes at a premium, sustainability is now proving to be a common-sense advantage and a win for asphalt producers, frontline workers, taxpayers, and the environment alike. BioAsphalt™? lays the foundation for resilient, low-carbon, and modern infrastructure that delivers real-world performance while accelerating decarbonization across the hard-to-abate construction sector, all at the lowest possible life-cycle cost. In July, NCAT provided early validation of Verde's technology, confirming its potential to reimagine sustainable road construction. Building on that milestone, Verde has entered into a 10-year exclusive agreement with Ergon Asphalt & Emulsions, the largest asphalt marketer in North America. Together, the newly formed alliance is executing a strategic go-to-market plan designed to accelerate commercialization, expand market reach, and drive long-term revenue growth. Together with Ergon Asphalt™? is a strategic go-to- market reach, with Ergon As asphalt™?, and drive long-term revenues growth. Together with Ergon®?, Verde has entered into an Indirect Tensile Strength ratio (TSR) of 1,000,000,000,000% of Verde has entered into a 100% RAP™?.
