TerraPave is designed to provide a sustainable and durable alternative to traditional asphalt or concrete pavements. It is made from all-natural pine tree resin. Its binding agent is comprised of byproducts from forest and paper product industries that follow sustainable harvesting practices. A decomposed granite and tree sap mixture, it conforms with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) standards and the Green Building Rating System™. To achieve a desired surface color, Terra Pave’s clear resin-based binder is combined with an aggregate—without the use of petroleum-based additives.
