Through 2025, Austin Commercial has constructed more than 94.8 million SF of LEED-certified space. Austin Commercial continues to lead the industry with extensive knowlege of means, methods, and materials to effectively meet each owner's sustainability goals.
In 2025, Austin Bridge & Road used approximately 19% of recycled products, including materials, in its asphalt production. Additionally, the company used 21% recycled oil, reducing the amount of virgin oil required for new asphalt production.
Austin Industrial’s refinery work aims to lower the sulfur content in diesel fuels and produce cleaner-burning gasoline. Both new and revamped gas facilities are designed to meet stringent emission standards, use renewable resources, reduce oil consumption, ensure proper handling and disposal of materials, and use preventive maintenance to meet Austin’s zero-emissions standard. Austin Industrial is also steadfast in its approach for leak-free start-ups of plant operations on turnaround and outage contracts.
"At Austin, I’m proud to say that we are doing our part to protect the environment by using recycled products in our hot mix asphalt plants."
