FORTA’s team of licensed pavement engineers and experienced field professionals have seen it all and are here to help!
There are several reasons to choose FI-GREEN, a sustainable asphalt fiber that helps you make a difference.
You can switch to a sustainable asphalt pavement solution that offers the same performance benefits as FORTA-FI while helping the environment. The product uses recycled plastic materials to reduce waste in landfills. Its increased durability improves the pavement life cycle, contributing to a lower frequency of asphalt replacement.
FI-GREEN is designed to improve pavement resilience. Its robust internal fiber network delivers the durability needed to control rutting, cracking, and overall pavement issues. With increased impact resistance and superior crack control, it minimizes the risk of surface deterioration.
This sustainable reinforcement solution offers unparalleled performance to withstand the rigorous demands of modern construction. It’s integral in creating stable, sturdy infrastructures. The fiber-reinforced pavement helps increase load-bearing capacity for areas with heavy vehicular traffic.
Get a proven solution for your asphalt projects or resurfacing works. The polymer effectively incorporates into the fiber blend to create a solution needed for various asphalt pavements, from bridges to highways, airports and beyond.
Post-industrial, low-density PE polymer offers longer-lasting asphalt performance for significant life cycle cost reduction. Extend pavement life and experience minimal downtime with a robust solution that minimizes repairs and overlays of your asphalt construction.
With less disruptive shutdowns, FI-GREEN helps lower maintenance costs in various applications. This sustainable asphalt provides significant savings through longer intervals between repairs.
FORTA is a premier provider of optimal fiber reinforcement solutions. With decades of industry knowledge and commitment to innovation, we continue to fulfill our customers’ need for superior asphalt fiber reinforcement. Innovative thinking is at the forefront of every mission, helping us develop resilient and versatile products that support strong, long-lasting structures.
Experience the FORTA Advantage with our:
No, the recycled plastic polymer fully melts and incorporates into the asphalt binder and does not leach out over time.
FI-GREEN uses low-density recycled plastic from an industrial waste stream. The plastic is clean, uniform, and consistent, leading to predictable and repeatable performance.
FORTA-FI Green provides the same performance benefit as the decades of proof we have with FORTA-FI. In addition, Penn State University has conducted binder and mix performance testing with positive results.
No, FI-GREEN will be produced and constructed exactly like FORTA-FI currently is produced. FI-GREEN also uses the same amount of aramid fiber as FORTA-FI.
In 2017, China implemented its National Sword policy, effectively halting the import of plastic waste—a practice that had allowed the country to process nearly 45% of the world’s plastic waste. This sudden shift left a major question: What happens to all that plastic now?
With limited international processing options, the burden of disposal has returned to domestic systems. In the United States alone, over 30 million tons of plastic waste are generated each year, yet only about 4.5% is recycled. The rest? It’s ending up in landfills, which are growing at an unsustainable rate.
This crisis has sparked innovation across industries. The asphalt sector is now exploring how it can be part of the solution by incorporating recycled plastics into pavement materials, reducing landfill waste while enhancing asphalt performance.
10,000 tons of asphalt ≈ 1 million plastic bags recycled.
FI-GREEN’s eco-friendly performance and superior resistance to deformation and crack propagation make it an excellent choice for challenging projects. Choose sustainable asphalt solutions for robust capabilities with a smaller carbon footprint. At FORTA, we create proven solutions and reinforcements that last.
