Possible solutions for the use of solid waste products in construction are examined together with their quantities and costs. Details are given of previous research results. Techniques utilized in outer space studies were applied to evaluate new types of construction materials such as beer bottles, tyres, plastic containers, and animal matter for road construction use. /TRRL/
