Committed to the environment,
dedicated to road construction
Vialit prioritizes sustainable and eco-friendly development in road construction. Our asphalt types and specialty products place people and the environment at the center. For us, technological innovation and environmental protection go hand in hand to produce road surfaces that are not only functional but also resource-efficient.

Sustainability Around Potholes – Balancing Industry and Habitat
For Vialit, environmental protection and technological innovation are not contradictions. Our developments focus on optimal resource use and minimal emissions, producing road surfaces that are both functional and sustainable. From bitumen emulsions to products based on renewable raw materials, Vialit is shaping the future today.
RapsAsphalt – The Green Asphalt
Eco-Friendly Road Surfacing for Climate Protection
Vialit RapsAsphalt is an innovative solution based on renewable raw materials such as rapeseed oil. This eco-friendly asphalt significantly reduces CO₂ emissions, actively helping to mitigate the greenhouse effect.
Advantages of RapsAsphalt:
- Permanently binds CO₂ from the atmosphere
- No combustion phase during application – emission-free
- High wetting capacity and excellent aggregate retention
- Fast setting for earlier traffic release
- Excellent aging properties and recyclability
RapsAsphalt is a sustainable alternative to conventional road surfaces, offering outstanding technical performance while protecting the environment. This makes Vialit a pioneer in sustainable road construction.
Hydropower Plant –
Energy from Nature
Vialit Relies on Eco-Friendly Hydropower
Since 2016, Vialit has operated its own small hydropower plant at the Dietfurter Schwelle on the Mattig River. This plant generates eco-friendly electricity, which is directly used for producing our road surfaces. With a Kaplan turbine providing up to 139 kW of power, the hydropower plant significantly contributes to sustainable energy production.
Facts About the Hydropower Plant:
- Built in 2014, operational since 2016
- Capacity: 139 kW with up to 90% efficiency
- Fish migration supported by a pool pass for local fauna
Through this hydropower plant, Vialit makes an important contribution to environmental protection and sustainable energy supply in its production.

Solar Energy – Harnessing the Sun for Sustainable Production
Photovoltaic Systems Deliver Eco-Friendly Electricity
Complementing our hydropower plant, we have installed photovoltaic systems on our company roofs to harness solar energy. These systems, with a total area of 1,650 m², deliver an annual nominal output of nearly 300,000 kWh and contribute to self-sufficiency in our production.
Advantages of Solar Energy Use:
- Reduces external energy needs through solar power utilization
- Improves energy efficiency in production, e.g., by converting heating systems to self-generated electricity
- Employs modern LED systems to reduce electricity consumption
With the combination of hydropower and solar energy, we cover more than half of our energy needs from our own renewable sources. This is our contribution to a cleaner environment.
