Verde Resources Inc. (OTCQB: VRDR) announced on October 23 2025 that independent laboratory testing by the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) has evaluated the performance of its BioAsphalt™ cold‑recycling mix, a product that incorporates biochar and is produced entirely from 100 % reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). The testing confirms the mix not only meets but exceeds key industry specifications for cold‑recycled pavement materials, indicating strong potential for future surface‑grade applications.
The lab results, conducted in accordance with ASTM D6931 (Indirect Tensile Strength) and AASHTO T283 (Moisture Susceptibility), show an Indirect Tensile Strength (ITS) of 61.8 psi under dry conditions and 45.6 psi under wet conditions, with a Tensile Strength Ratio (TSR) of 0.74—well above the industry threshold of 0.70 typically required for cold‑recycled materials. These figures demonstrate exceptional strength, durability, and moisture resistance, underscoring the mix’s suitability for high‑traffic surface layers while simultaneously sequestering carbon.
The announcement highlights that the BioAsphalt™ technology offers a scalable, low‑carbon alternative to traditional paving materials, enabling the use of recycled RAP at ambient temperatures year‑round. By combining biochar with 100 % recycled aggregates, Verde transforms waste into a carbon‑sequestering surface course that can reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. The successful NCAT validation marks a key step toward commercial deployment and positions Verde to capture both material sales and carbon‑credit revenue streams as the product moves into surface‑grade application testing.
