Low-Cost,
High-Durability
Roads
Our innovative formula eliminates dust, mud and ruts by upcycling waste asphalt shingles into durable, long lasting road surfaces, all at a fraction of the cost of hot asphalt.
How is it made?
Razphalt® is a proprietary mix with two main components:
1. Asphalt Shingles - diverted from Alberta landfills and sorted
2. Upcycled Asphalt - sourced from old roads and other asphalt waste
Product Comparison
Stronger than gravel, cheaper than hot asphalt & 100% upcycled. At Razphalt®, low costs keep the circular economy moving. By efficiently reusing incoming shingle waste, we make sustainable paving affordable.
Hot Asphalt
Recycled Asphalt (RAP)
Sustainability:
Unlike traditional pavement made from virgin materials and produced through high-emission processes, Razphalt® is 100% upcycled and cold-processed/installed—making it a smarter, more environmentally responsible choice.
Superior Compaction:
Unlike RAP or gravel, Razphalt® is a finishing surface designed to remain compact and stable through all seasons. While it is still an aggregate product, sunlight, traffic, and temperature fluctuations naturally accelerate compaction and long-term stability.
Budget Friendly:
Razphalt® often costs half the price of traditional hot asphalt—and in some cases, as little as one-sixth. Larger projects reduce our cost per square foot, and we pass those savings directly on to our customers.
High Oil Content:
Razphalt® eliminates dust and mud from day one. Its high oil content enables faster compaction, stronger hardening, and improved performance compared to RAP or gravel. Over time, heat and traffic help expel air from the surface, allowing the material to consolidate into a durable, cohesive finish.
Durability:
Over time, Razphalt® can reach strength levels similar to hot asphalt thanks to its natural slow-curing process. Because Razphalt® is installed cold, it has a lower environmental impact; however, this also means the surface is not sealed so there can be some movement of fine, loose pieces until the product fully compacts with traffic and weather.
Low Maintenance:
Unlike RAP or gravel, Razphalt® Eliminates mud and dust from day one. Its self-healing nature allows for simple upkeep—just add a bit more product and drive over it.

FAQs
Find answers to your questions about the Razphalt® product and its benefits.
Razphalt® is a sustainable surfacing solution made entirely from recycled materials. It upcycles asphalt shingles and recycled asphalt into a durable, low-maintenance road and driveway surface. Razphalt® is 100% upcycled, cold-processed and cold-installed, reducing environmental impact at every stage. It is designed to eliminate dust and mud immediately, while delivering long-term performance at a great price.
Razphalt® was developed in 2016 in Calgary, Alberta, and has been in real-world use since 2020 on commercial yards, acreage driveways, and municipal roads.
Razphalt® is more durable than gravel and traditional recycled asphalt (RAP), and over time can achieve strength comparable to hot asphalt. Its high oil content allows it to compact faster and bind more effectively than other recycled products.
With traffic, heat, and sunlight, Razphalt® hardens from the bottom up, becoming denser and more stable with use. Many installations have held up for years under heavy truck traffic, snow plowing, and Alberta freeze-thaw cycles.
Razphalt® is a finishing surface designed to resist rutting, dust, and ongoing material loss. Maintenance is minimal and straightforward. If needed, simply add more Razphalt® and compact it by rolling or driving over the area.
Razphalt® offers a different value equation than hot asphalt.It is significantly more affordable, often costing about half the price of hot asphalt and in some cases as little as one-sixth, depending on project size. Environmentally, Razphalt® is 100% upcycled whilte hot asphalt relies on virgin materials. Razphalt® is cold-processed and cold-installed, as opposed to the unsustainable production and high temperature installation of hot asphalt.
While hot asphalt is sealed immediately, Razphalt® cures gradually and is an aggreagte product. This means there may be some surface movement early on, but the long-term tradeoff is a flexible, self-healing surface that continues to strengthen over time.
Razphalt® eliminates mud and dust from day one, dramatically improving usability and appearance compared to gravel surfaces. It requires far less maintenance than gravel or RAP and can be easily repaired by adding more product and compacting it.It is cost-effective, durable, and immediately usable after installation. From a sustainability standpoint, Razphalt® diverts large volumes of asphalt shingles from landfills and supports a circular economy by reusing existing materials instead of extracting new ones. It also performs well across a wide range of applications, including commercial yards, acreage driveways, parking areas, and municipal roads.
Razphalt® offers numerous benefits, including durability, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability.
Razphalt® starts by diverting waste shingles from local landfills. We manually sort, grind, and blend the material into a proprietary mix—engineered for consistency, performance, and long-term durability. This process doesn’t just reduce waste—it creates a stronger, smarter surfacing solution that cures into a hardened surface over time.
