Abstract

Non-limiting embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method comprising: obtaining asphalt shingle waste (ASW) and performing grinding, screening, and separating steps on the ASW. In some embodiments, granules are removed from the ASW. In some embodiments, the method transforms ASW into ASW powder. In some embodiments, the ASW powder is formed into a plurality of briquettes. In some embodiments, at least one of: the ASW powder, the plurality of briquettes, or any combination thereof is fed into a mixing process that results in an ASW powder filled coating.

Claims (57)

1. A plurality of briquettes comprising:

each of the plurality of briquettes comprising:

a pressurized asphalt shingle waste powder,

wherein the pressurized asphalt shingle waste powder comprises an asphalt shingle waste powder from any form of discarded asphalt shingle,

wherein the asphalt shingle waste powder comprises:

 5% to 40% by weight of asphalt based on a total weight of the asphalt shingle waste powder; and

 50% to 95% by weight of limestone and impurities based on the total weight of the asphalt shingle waste powder;

 less than 20% by weight of granules based on the total weight of the asphalt shingle waste powder.
