🌍 The new GAPA Magazine is out!
From Japan’s low-carbon recycling technologies to South Africa’s sustainability charter and Germany’s shift to Warm Mix Asphalt — this issue brings together progress and innovation from across the world of asphalt.
The magazine reflects the spirit of the Global Asphalt Pavement Alliance (GAPA) — connecting regional associations to share knowledge, advance decarbonisation, and strengthen collaboration across continents.
📰 Read the 3rd edition of the GAPA Magazine and explore how our industry is shaping a more sustainable future for road infrastructure worldwide.
From smart paving to better data in logistics and road maintenance, digitalisation is already shaping how we work. EAPA’s new Technical Briefing on Asphalt 4.0 – Digital Transformation gives an overview of these changes and what they mean for efficiency, sustainability, and quality across Europe.
What does digitalisation mean for the asphalt paving sector?
EAPA’s new Technical Briefing on Asphalt 4.0 looks at how technology is transforming production, transport, paving, compaction, logistics, and asset management.
It highlights how digital tools can help reduce CO₂ emissions, improve quality, and make Europe’s road infrastructure more sustainable.
The Virtual Run for Fun has reached its collective goal of 500 km — and our top runner, Simon Pouget, takes the win! 🏆
This campaign celebrates the connection between runners and the smooth, reliable surfaces that make every stride count. Every run reflects the spirit of our community — strong, consistent, and always moving forward.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined the challenge on Strava and shared their runs with us.
Next stop maybe at a physical Run for Fun in Vienna, as part of the E&E Event 2026! Similar to the 5km 'Run for fun' held at E&E Congress in 2023! Subscribe to EAPA newsletter to stay updated: https://bit.ly/4nndYtF

Europe’s paving industries are driving the shift towards a greener, smarter future.
Join our next EAPA Webinar: Lessons and Insights from Europe’s WMA Transition on 12 November 2025 (14:00–16:00 CET).
Hear from pioneering countries leading this transformation as they share practical experiences and technical insights from across Europe.
Europe’s shift from HMA to WMA is accelerating — but not everywhere at the same pace. Regulations, fuel prices, public procurement, and technical challenges all play a role, as Breixo Gómez, Technical Director at EAPA, explains.

We’re delighted to welcome Nynas as a new member of EAPA!
Founded in 1928 in Sweden, they have grown from a local oil company into a globally recognised specialist in bitumen and related solutions. Their expertise supports infrastructure development worldwide, with binders used in roads, bridges, and runways that help extend service life, reduce CO₂ emissions, and lower energy consumption.
Standing out through innovation and circularity, Nynas develops solutions that enable greater use of reclaimed asphalt, invests in R&D with state-of-the-art labs and research partners, and continues to seek new ways to make the most of nature’s resources.

The purpose of the European Asphalt Pavement Association (EAPA) is to be the trusted voice of the European asphalt paving industry. With 39 Members and Associated Members, EAPA already represents the majority of the asphalt pavement industry and engages in asphalt road construction and maintenance in the whole of Europe.
EAPA is, and its mission is to remain the acknowledged contact point for its members, other industry organisations and of course the European Institutions. Being based in Brussels at the heart of the European Union, EAPA already represents its members successfully at the European level.
Why is such an association needed?
Over 90% of the total road network has an asphalt surface. There are over 4,000 production sites in Europe and over 10,000 companies are involved in production and/or laying of asphalt. 90% of the companies can be classified as Small and Medium sized Enterprises. In order to make the voice of the industry heard at the European level, an active and influential European Association is needed; whose aims are promoting the effective use of asphalt in the construction and maintenance of roads throughout Europe. Additionally, EAPA’s mission is to take a proactive approach in presenting the industry’s position on the relevant issues in order to have a substantial input to, and impact on European legislation and standards relevant to the Asphalt paving industry.
Next to the European focus, EAPA is also a platform for its members to discuss crucial issues of the sector and the exchange best practices and information.
How does EAPA achieve this?
EAPA is highly engaged in Committee Work, in particular on Health, Safety, Environment and Technical Issues. It is represented in CEN-activities in connection with European Standardisation. It takes part in several European Research and Development Programmes (e.g. FP7 Programmes of the Commission), maintains a close relationship with the European Commission and the European Parliament and engages in regular discussions and meetings with the other like-minded organisations. Moreover, EAPA also publishes various position papers or data collections, such as the annual “Asphalt in Figures” publication. EAPA organises several highly anticipated events e.g. the quadrennial EAPA Symposium (2010 in Madrid) and the quadrennial E&E Congress, the latter together with Eurobitume.
Furthermore, EAPA also maintains close ties with asphalt producers in North America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Japan and is thus part of a global network, GAPA, taking up the challenge of creating infrastructure designed to improve the progress of regional economies on a global scale in an environmentally and socially sustainable way.
