GreenPatch is an environmentally friendly cold asphalt patch that contains no petroleum-based softeners like conventional patches. It is a direct replacement for traditional cold patch without compromising quality or increasing costs. GreenPatch does not contain volatile organic compounds and uses recycled materials, reducing its environmental impact. It was developed by Cold Mix Manufacturing to provide a competitive and eco-friendly alternative to traditional cold patch for repairing roads and driveways.

GREEN ASPHALT COLD PATCH 2012 Nova Award Nomination 25 Green Asphalt Cold Patch GreenPatch速 is environmentally friendly cold asphalt that is a direct replacement for traditional cold patch in repairing asphalt pavements. This revolutionary breakthrough in the cold asphalt industry contains no petroleum based softeners such as diesel, toluene, kerosene, and naphthalene found in conventional cold asphalt that pose serious threats to human health and the environment. This is all achieved without sacrificing quality or increas- ing cost which makes it a direct replacement to the conventional cold asphalt that is being used on our roads to- day. GreenPatchs lack of petroleum based solvents or cutbacks make it a VOC compliant material in all fifty states. And unlike cold patch, it works! Properly installed, it is a high performance, permanent repair. GreenPatch速 is also affordable and is competitively priced with traditional products. GreenPatch速 is available in different forms to meet your needs. Whether you are repairing part of your driveway or part of a highway we can help. Once you experience the many benefits of this high performance, cost-effective cold mix asphalt, youll understand why utility companies, road repair contractors, public works departments and homeowners are all switching to Greenpatch速-- the first truly environmentally safe cold asphalt mix. GreenPatch速 was developed by Cold Mix Manufacturing (CMM), established in February of 2007 by a partner- ship of asphalt industry leaders in the New York City area. Its mission was to produce a competitive and cost- effective asphalt repair product while driving a dedicated research and development campaign towards innova- tion in high-performance materials. With the subsequent expansion of Green industry initiatives plus rising pressures from government, health and environmental agencies about the many hazards of conventional cold patch, CMM recognized a need to limit the environmental impact of the industry. By concentrating on the re- duction of VOC levels (Volatile Organic Compounds) it developed a way to replace the petroleum based ingre- dients with all-natural substrates. This research resulted in the first eco-friendly asphalt patch - Greenpatch速. The results have been nothing short of revolutionary. CMM and Greenpatch速 are praised by the media, envi- ronmental groups, and legislators for developing this 'responsible solution'. State agencies, municipalities, major utility and road construction companies, and home owners have now welcomed GreenPatch速 as the preferred asphalt repair material. GreenPatch速 is approved by the New York State Department of Transportation and is currently being used by cities, towns, villages, universities, utility companies, farms, and marinas across the country. We can all do our part to reduce the harmful effects we impose on the environment. This is one in- stance in which a cost effective, high quality, environmentally friendly product is available to replace a hazard- ous one. Cold Mix Manufacturing has established its industry presence and business community support with such trade organizations as NAPA (National Asphalt Pavement Association) and APWA (American Public Works Asso- ciation). CMM is also a member of the US Green Building Council (USGBC), the National Green Energy Council, and the International Green Energy Council. GreenPatch速 has earned the first product endorsement awarded by the National Green Energy Council (NGEC). Cold Mix Manufacturing is dedicated to providing quality products that are environmentally friendly. This commitment is demonstrated by its use of recycled asphalt which reduces its need for stone and sand mining. Mining can result in unnaturally high concentrations of chemicals such as arsenic and sulfuric acid over a signif- icant area. Large amounts of water produced from mine drainage, mine cooling, aqueous extraction and other mining processes increases the potential for these chemicals to contaminate ground and surface water. *GreenPatch速- the Recyclable Recycled asphalt repair product: GreenPatch速 uses 40% recycled asphalt GreenPatch速 can be ripped up, recycled, and reused. GreenPatch速 bags are 100% recyclable GreenPatch速 is manufactured at a very low temperature, which reduces fossil fuel consumption by 70% GreenPatch速 is an preferable purchase and is the first product to be endorsed by the Green Energy Council.

Contains NO Petroleum Derivative Cutbacks- A 100% decrease over conventional Cold Mix Asphalt which contains dangerous amounts of the carcinogens benzene, kerosene, diesel, toluene or naphthalene. Biodegradable Solvents- Our solvents are derived from natural, biodegradable products that come from a sustainable source Use of Recycled Materials- An increase of 40-60% in the use of Recycled Asphalt Product (RAP) o Part of what makes GREENPATCH a sustainable solution is our commitment to using Recycled Asphalt Prod- uct . By reducing the use of virgin aggregates, we are minimizing the hazardous carbon footprint from the min- ing process- which also reflects on overall production costs. o GreenPatch uses state of the art recycling equipment such as SCREENERS in our manufacturing plants to create RAP by crushing old asphalt material and millings from roads and city streets. The screener separates and re- stores reusable aggregates to be processed and regraded into new asphalt. Recyclability- GreenPatch can be easily recycled just like normal Hot Mix Asphalt Eco Friendly Packaging- All of our bags are recyclable Energy Conservation in Manufacturing- Approximately a 70% decrease in fossil fuel consumption due to lower manu- facturing temperatures Resource Conservation in Manufacturing- 40 60% decrease in the need from mining of virgin aggregates Employee Safety- Proper handling of GreenPatch is not hazardous to human health Animal Safety-The use of GreenPatch poses no threat to wildlife, marine life or domestic animals Green purchasing- Final product is considered an Environmentally Preferable Purchase GreenPatch is the First Product to be Endorsed by The National Green Energy Council Construction Innovation Forum 6494 Latcha Road, Walbridge, OH 43465 419-725-3108 Fax: 725-3079 E-mail: info@CIF.org www.CIF.org
