Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a fundamental tool for evaluating the environmental sustainability of products, processes and systems.

Through this methodology, it is possible to assess environmental impact throughout the entire life cycle of a product – from the production phase to final disposal.

The importance of LCA is recognized at the international level, with specific standards governing its application in order to ensure methodological rigor, transparency and comparability of results.

Ammann has introduced a wide array of new asphalt plant solutions for both batching and continuous production types to suit a range of different applications. In addition, the firm is now offering improved drum designs that allow the use of RAP in the feed.

The most sophisticated is the high recycling technology (HRT) batch plant, a premium design that benefits from advanced technology. This can incorporate up to 100% RAP, while featuring extremely low energy consumption and emissions.
