ASPHALT PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM MAKES GREENPATCH AFFORDABLE NATIONWIDE- AND OVERSEAS

Since 2008, the New York based Eco-friendly GreenPatch has proven itself through countless municipal compliance tests and by meeting major utility companies’ standards in the northeast region. By doing so, it has become the high performance cold asphalt repair product of choice. GreenPatch has won every single time-based durability test while being the only VOC compliant material in its class. But with performance and environmental impact driving its mission, GreenPatch’s ultimate dealmaker comes from its cost-conscious business model. The producers at Cold Mix Manufacturing (CMM) of College Pt. NY have dispelled the myth that all Green products are more expensive than their conventional predecessors.

Dario Amicucci, president of Cold Mix Manufacturing strategically takes on the national market by offering partnership opportunities to all NAPA Members (National Asphalt Pavement Association) and asphalt manufacturers from all 50 states. His Asphalt Manufacturing Partnership (AMP) Program enables asphalt plants to produce their own GreenPatch by supplying them with the patented VOC-compliant liquid solution that binds the aggregates to form the eco-friendly pothole filler.

“To sell the liquid solution directly to manufacturers and have them produce GreenPatch locally is far more efficient and affordable to the end user than delivering bags of asphalt over state lines”, starts Amicucci. “GreenPatch meets one of the nation’s most stringent regulatory guidelines in California…the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). This tells us that it doesn’t get safer than GreenPatch. Meeting these requirements greatly increases our acceptance rating on a national scale!”

Winning the race for developing an environmentally safe asphalt material has been a dedicated objective that Cold Mix has pioneered and committed extensively funded research towards since 2008. With many of the northeastern municipalities now recognizing and using GreenPatch, and the commercial distribution partnership with Sakrete (earning shelf presence at NY and NJ Home Depots), the GreenPatch name solidly captures the claim as the “first earth-friendly pavement repair solution”. The focus on VOC-compliant materials by state legislators has moved GreenPatch to the forefront of the nation’s air quality protection movement.

CMM Director of Operations Glenn Shapiro, expresses his confidence in the establishment of the AMP Program- and its ability to facilitate nationwide access to this revolutionary product. His two year campaign has taken him through most of the United States and has now expanded his reach abroad where talks of a European manufacturing plant is in the planning stage. “Localizing the GreenPatch production in Europe is just another example of how we consider how all aspects of our business impact our carbon footprint. Shipping product to Europe makes no sense economically or environmentally –imagine the diesel fuel used to ship thousands of tons of product overseas. European legislators are even more proactive toward cleaning up industries and focusing on global issues- and thanks to our friends at UPSCO international, we’re all able to work off the same page!”
