Environmental issues and sustainable development are key factors where asphalt pavement technology can play an even more positive active role in the future. Asphalt is ideally suited for recycling and re-use of materials, meeting the challenges of limited material resources. It has potential to reduce global warming through low energy concepts for mix production and placing. Furthermore, it allows meeting specific environmental demands of denser populated agglomerations, such as reduction of traffic noise by introducing new innovative materials and designs as well as reductions of congestion from road works by improving durability and aging resistance. Hence, it is now time to establish a holistic way of approach and introduce this concept in life cycle analysis as well as research and development.
In order to form a coordinate platform for progress in this field and based on the achievements of the Symposium ISAP2008 August 18th to 20th in Zurich (http://www.empa.ch/isap2008) a new ISAP Technical Committee TC APE Asphalt Pavement and Environment has been formed.
The goals of this TC APE are
· Promote recycling of asphalt as sustainable material of high value by considering technical, environmental and economical aspects.
Re-use as much as possible at quality levels as high as possible.
· Promote safe and beneficial re-use of second mat. in asphalt
· Find new solutions and new techniques to improve the environmental compatibility of asphalt pavement
· Find new solutions and new techniques for asphalt pavements to improve environment (e.g. multifunctionality)
· Find new solutions and new technique & understand mechanisms!!
· Link with other international groups, e.g. RILEM TC SIB, WG05 Recycling and WG06 on Cold Recycling and the recently established RILEM TC RAP - Asphalt Pavement Recycling.

Print International Workshop on Pavement Life Cycle Assessment
The University of California Pavement Research Center (UCPRC, Davis and Berkeley) hosted an International Workshop on Pavement Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) on the University of California – Davis campus on May 5-7, 2010. The event was co-hosted by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the Institute of Transportation Studies at UC-Berkeley and UC-Davis. The International Society for Asphalt Pavements Technical Committee on Asphalt Pavements and Environment (ISAP-APE) and the International Society for Concrete Pavements (ISCP) were collaborators for the event.

New WGs
During the annual meeting in Washington DC, a new WGs organization was made: three new WGs was created and some chairmen were changed.
Now the TC have these WGs:
WG 1 Hot Recycling of RAP
Chair: Peter Sebaaly
WG 2 Cold Recycling of RAP
Chair: Kim Jenkins
WG 3 Life cycle analysis
Chair: John Harvey
WG 4 New technologies and special environmental aspects on asphalt pavements (solar and thermal energies, noise reduction, ….)
Chair: Gordon Airey
WG 5 Shingle recycling
Chair: Gerry Huber
WG 6 By-products and secondary materials: recycling in asphalt pavement
Chair: Dariusz Sybilski
Annual Meeting
The annual meeting of Technical Committee on Asphalt Pavements and Environment will be January 10, 2010 from 1:30pm to 4:30pm at Hotel Shoreham, room Forum.
ISAP LCA questionnaire
Dear Colleagues,
Please find in the Section "Documents" a brief questionnaire regarding LCA practice. The questionnaire is intended to not take more than 15-20 minutes to complete (you may send back any supporting documents with more detail rather than put a lot of detail in the questionnaire). I would like to receive your response by December 1, 2009 so that we can review them and summarize for TRB.
Please forward this to anyone you know who might be able to fill it out.
Thank you in advance and I am looking forward to your responses!
Best regards,
John Harvey
WG on LCA Chairman
