PARTNERSHIPS FOR SUSTAINABILITY: A NEW APPROACH TO HIGHWAY MATERIALS. REPORT ON THE HOUSTON WORKSHOP OCTOBER 9-11, 2000 HOUSTON, TEXAS

In September 1999, representatives from the Federal Highway Administration, (FHWA), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the American Association of State and Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO), the American State and Territorial Solid Waste Management Officials (ASTSWMO) groups visited Sweden, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, and France under the sponsorship of the FHWA and AASHTO International Scan Program and the Recycled Materials Resource Center (RMRC) at the University of New Hampshire. The objective of the study was to review and document innovative policies, program and techniques that these European countries may have on recycling construction materials. This report documents this very creative workshop. The opinions represent a consensus of disciplines that heretofore had not worked on this common issue. All brought their own specialty to the workshop but found a way to meet on common ground. For the most part, the opinions represent a "view for the middle" - middle managers and specialists that would like to unite on common recycling ground.
