The 25-40% lower comprehensive cost is not a single factor but the sum of several savings. Let us take it apart.
Binder and aggregate savings
Raising RAP utilization directly reduces the extraction and purchase of virgin asphalt and stone - the largest cost source at high incorporation.
Energy and temperature
Medium-temperature mixing lowers fuel and electricity use by about 30%, especially significant when energy prices are high.
Haulage and landfill avoidance
Using RAP nearby reduces waste haulage and landfilling, and shortens some material transport distances.
A simple per-tonne view
Combining the above into every ten-thousand tonnes of mix gives a clear, reportable drop in life-cycle cost.
