## Abstract

Downstream uses for briquettes and other forms of asphalt shingle waste are provided. A composition is provided. The composition comprises 5% to 50% by weight of an asphalt shingle waste based on a total weight of the composition, wherein the asphalt shingle waste comprises a waste asphalt; 1% to 25% by weight of at least one filler material based on the total weight of the composition; 1% to 15% by weight of at least one polymer based on the total weight of the composition; 1% to 10% by weight of at least one stabilizer based on the total weight of the composition; and 1% to 15% by weight of at least one surfactant based on the total weight of the composition. A drilling fluid, various other asphalt products, and related methods are also provided, among other things.
