What makes GreenPatch “GREEN”?
GreenPatch contains 40-60% recycled material. We reduce our production temperatures, we eliminate the use of petroleum-derived products (inside our mix) and we lessen the need for quarrying of virgin materials due to our high recycled content.

Will I need to replace GreenPatch?
No, you do not need to replace GreenPatch. Once applied, GreenPatch will remain in its application for as long as the surrounding pavement stays stable. It is a permanent repair and not a temporary product.

How is GreenPatch applied?
GreenPatch is applied in the same manner as the conventional asphalt products. You merely need to brush sweep out the area to be repaired. Since it is ready to use, you can easily apply GreenPatch directly out of the bag or via shovel- you compact the product and it’s ready for traffic immediately.

I am concerned about "greenwashing." Is your product really green?
Yes! Some other companies are calling their cold patch products green simply because they contain recycled asphalt and yet they still contain harmful chemicals and have high VOCs. We are truly green in that we have completely removed the toxic solvents from our product. And yes, we include recycled asphalt. We use recyclable bags. We have drastically lowered our use of fossil fuels in production. Cold Mix Manufacturing has greatly reduced our carbon footprint and we are constantly looking for new ways to positively impact our environment.
