Responsibility

We work in the communities we call home

At Pitlik & Wick, Inc., we work hard to make the environment we work in even better. We are proud to work in the communities we call home.

Every one of our products are 100% Recyclable​. On top of that, many new technologies are now available to the asphalt industry that makes an already green industry even greener. Here are some of the ways in which Pitlik & Wick promotes environmental responsibility. 

Recycled Asphalt Product

Recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) is the single largest recycled material in the United States. Approximately 80 million tons are recycled every year! Asphalt is 100% recyclable, and by recycling this valuable material, precious resources can be conserved. RAP can be used in new asphalt pavement, and can reduce the need for new materials by 35%. The amount of asphalt cement needed is also reduced. In the photo to the right, RAP is being milled off the road and loaded onto a truck 

Fun Fact: In 1998, Pitlik & Wick Inc was the first company in the state of Wisconsin to successfully pave a Wisconsin Superpave Project with 20% RAP in the Mix. This design is now an industry standard.

Recycled Asphalt Shingles –
From Roofs to Roads

Using recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) in new products is important in order to reduce the environmental impacts associated with the extraction, transportation, and processing of new materials. Using RAS conserves valuable landfill space, and reduces costs for manufacturers and consumers. Construction contractors and homeowners are also able to dispose of shingles free of charge and improve their image.
