WASTE PRODUCTS AS A POTENTIAL REPLACEMENT FOR AGGREGATES
In future years many sections of the country will find available supplies of quality mineral aggregates becoming depleted. During this same period the problems of solid waste disposal will become more pronounced. The conversion of suitable solid waste into aggregate substitutes is a practical solution to both problems. Much research and developmental work has already been done concerning the construction use of solid waste. However, a great deal of important work remains to be done in this area. Because of the time normally required to gain acceptance for untried materials, it is imperative that such research begin immediately. Added stimulation for the earlier development of waste products as replacements for aggregates may be needed in the form of economic incentives for recycling of solid wastes.
