USE OF RECYCLED MATERIALS AND RECYCLED PRODUCTS IN HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION

The objective of the project was to develop both short term and long term implementation plans for the use of waste and recycled materials (WRMs) by MHD and others involved in highway construction. The purpose of the Short Term Implementation Plan was to identify WRMs successfully used or being used in other states that can be put to almost immediate use in Massachusetts. The purpose of the Long Term Implementation Plan was to identify WRMs that were considered not suitable for short term implementation but have the potential to be used pending an assessment of necessary performance information.
