MoDOT uses more ethanol and biodiesel fuel a year - three million gallons of E-85 and B20 - than all other state agencies combined. That’s enough fuel to drive a car to Mars and back.
We're not just separating glass from plastic. Recycling takes place on a gigantic scale with MoDOT.
Sometimes, the department recycles entire sections of roads!
MoDOT can actually reuse asphalt directly in place by heating it, processing it on the road and relaying it. The process is called "Hot In-Place Recycling" and it saves Missourians millions of dollars every year.
