            <description><![CDATA[Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) – a product of recycled old asphalt roads – is moving from a supplementary option to a core component of modern road construction, as sustainability, cost-efficiency and resource security shape infrastructure agendas worldwide, says asphalt and concrete solutions provider Lintec & Linnhoff. It points out that governments, road authorities and contractors are increasingly recognising RAP as a practical pathway to circularity, reducing reliance on virgin materials while lowering emissions and production costs. ]]></description>
