Using Recycled Content in Road & Infrastructure Projects: Glass, Plastic Drainage Pipes, Asphalt, & Crumb Rubber

Increasing the use of recycled content is essential, and road and infrastructure projects are an often overlooked opportunity. This two-day virtual workshop provided an opportunity for participants to learn how to take advantage of glass, plastic drainage pipes, ground asphalt and crumb rubber in construction and help keep this big volume material out of landfills.
