The mix demonstrated exceptional strength, durability, and moisture resistance, reinforcing its potential suitability for future surface-layer applications.Testing conducted in accordance with ASTM D6931 (Indirect Tensile Strength) and AASHTO T283 (Moisture Susceptibility) produced results well above standard benchmarks for cold-mix asphalt. The mix achieved an Indirect Tensile Strength (ITS) of 61.8 psi (426.1 kPa) under dry conditions and 45.6 psi (314.2 kPa) under wet conditions, with a Tensile Strength Ratio (TSR) of 0.74, surpassing the industry threshold of 0.70 typically required for cold-recycled materials. These results reflect a notable improvement in cohesion, retained strength, and overall mix performance, exceeding expectations at this stage of testing.Beyond its mechanical performance, these findings underscore the potential of Verde’s carbon-sequestering BioAsphalt™ technology as a scalable, low-carbon alternative to traditional paving materials, advancing the next generation of sustainable, high-performance infrastructure.Traditionally, cold recycling of 100% RAP has been used primarily in intermediate and base layers beneath the surface course. The ability to extend its use to the top layer, where pavement endures direct traffic loads, while simultaneously enabling carbon sequestration, marks a meaningful step forward for the industry.“These NCAT results show that our cold mix BioAsphalt™ is redefining what’s possible with recycled materials,” said&nbsp;Eric Bava, COO of&nbsp;Verde Resources. “The performance improvements we’re seeing give us tremendous confidence as we move into surface-grade application testing, demonstrating that performance and sustainability can work in perfect alignment, paving the way for a new generation of carbon-sequestering infrastructure.”“The testing indicates promising performance across key engineering parameters,” added Dr.&nbsp;Nam Tran, Associate Director at NCAT. “Verde’s innovative combination of biochar and specialized emulsion demonstrates clear potential for cold-recycled asphalt that could be ready for surface applications.”As a sustainable alternative to conventional road materials, Verde’s burnerless, solvent-free BioAsphalt™ can be produced and applied at ambient temperatures year-round, dramatically reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. By combining biochar with 100% recycled materials, a major landfill and environmental challenge in many metropolitan areas, Verde transforms waste into a carbon-sequestering surface course application that offers a compelling, high-value-added alternative within the industry. With vast reserves of RAP readily available in many urban and nearby surrounding areas, the solution is not only sustainable but also scalable and economically practical, empowering industry partners to reduce costs while generating carbon credits that flow directly to their bottom line.Verde is redefining what it means to go green.

The Biochar-Asphalt test section is showing indicators of durability and resilience, particularly for low-volume applications.“We’ve had plenty of materials and ideas come through the Test Track over the years, but few show the carbon reduction potential that Verde’s Biochar Asphalt does, and it’s definitely the first technology on the track with a carbon sequestration component,” said&nbsp;Nathan Moore, Assistant Director for&nbsp;Test Track Research&nbsp;at NCAT. “After nearly 50,000 ESALs of heavy 80-ton truck traffic, the surface remains flexible and has delivered consistent performance. Based on what I’ve observed to date, this material appears well suited for use in low-traffic applications like local roads and subdivisions.”While the early validation confirms its suitability for light-duty pavements, continuous evaluations are underway to determine its long-term viability for medium to high-traffic roadways, as part of NCAT’s multi-year test cycle.“We’re still in the early days, but the pace of validation and Nathan’s comments are incredibly energizing,” said&nbsp;Jack Wong, CEO of&nbsp;Verde Resources. “Receiving this kind of feedback in less than a year speaks volumes, not just about the strength of our material, but about the extraordinary potential when innovation is powered by both science and purpose.”Verde’s Biochar-Asphalt is also&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.nasdaq.com/press-release/verde-sets-industry-first-puroearth-carbon-credits-asphalt-2025-04-10">the first in the world to generate verified Carbon Removal Credits,</a>&nbsp;certified through Puro.earth and purchased by one of the largest financial institutions in the world earlier this year. This breakthrough has positioned the company as a pioneer in turning asphalt from a traditional emitter into a climate-positive material, actively mitigating Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions across the construction value chain. Scope 1 reductions arise from lower temperature mixing and onsite emissions, Scope 2 from reduced energy needs, and Scope 3 through the upstream carbon sequestration potential of biochar and downstream emissions avoidance.
