Through December 2014, Porous Pave recycled a total of about 6 million pounds of rubber recycled from 200,000 tires. Porous Pave is a surfacing material made of of 50 percent recycled rubber, 50 percent stone aggregate and a moisture-cured urethane-binding agent.

According to the company, Porous Pave retains stormwater runoff on site, decreases the volume and velocity of rainwater, improves water quality by reducing erosion and filtering out pollutants, and recharges groundwater.

“Reaching a total of 200,000 tires saved from landfills, recycled and processed into a component of Porous Pave is an environmental achievement,” said David Ouwinga, president and chief executive officer of Porous Pave. “It also signifies the rapid adoption of Porous Pave as a pour-in-place, permeable paving surface for a variety of applications.”

Porous Pave can be used for public, commercial and residential installations for loading docks, parking lots, driveways, building entryway, courtyards, walkways, sidewalks, patios and terraces. It can also be installed on slopes up to 30 degrees.
