  3. Key Points 0f FHWA Recycling Policy • Recycled materials should get first consideration in overall materials selection. • Recycling can offer engineering, economic and environmental benefits. • Engineering and environmental properties are important. • Life Cycle Cost benefits assessment is warranted. • Restrictions prohibiting recycled material that are without technical basis should be removed.

  4. FHWA–Recycling Happens – How? • FHWA recognizes the need to increase our highway industry's overall use of recycled materials • By better exchange of technology/info • Workshops – like this!! • Forge true partnerships among government, industry, and academia • Strengthen the relationship between FHWA and the US. Environmental Protection Agency and Owner Agencies.

  5. Partners in Recycling • NAPA • NCAT • ARRA • ACPA • AASHTO • US EPA • IRC • RMRC • FP2 • NOSAJ

  6. FALCON – Environmental Stewardship Objectives Recycled Materials – The use of recycled highway materials in pavement construction, rehabilitation, preservation, and maintenance is maximized to the extent economical and practical with equal or improved performance. Re-Use – The use of consumer, industrial, agricultural, or energy co-products in pavements and pavement-related materials is optimized to the extent economical and practical with equal or improved performance.

  7. FALCON – Environmental Stewardship Objectives Environmental Innovations – The highway industry utilizes innovative technologies which are environmentally-sound and applies sustainable approaches to pavement design and material selections, construction, preservation, and maintenance. Workforce Capability - The highway industry workforce is well-trained, well-connected, qualified, and experienced to conduct environmentally-sound paving and material practices.

  8. Perception needs continuous change • NOT MSW, NOT GARBAGE • Industrial By-products are: • Fly ash from coal combustion • Slag aggregate from iron/steel production • Products are recyclable materials • Fly ash in concrete • Slag cement • Rubberized asphalt • NOT Linear Landfill – NOT WASTE
