The Shelly Company is driven to be an environmental steward.  Shelly has examined its processes for opportunities to reuse, recycle or replace raw materials.  In the area of energy use, Shelly is doing its part to reduce its demand for oil.  Many of its asphalt plants are able to use recycled oil as its primary energy source.  The recycled oil is obtained from specialized re-refiners who provide material meeting certain quality specifications.
