Recycled Materials Resource Center
| 项目名称： | Recycled Materials Resource Center |
| 摘要： | The ultimate objective of the Recycled Materials Resource Center (RMRC) is to increase the wise use of recycled materials in roadway construction and maintenance. This objective will decrease the amount of materials going to landfills or stockpiles, and will reduce the cost and environmental impact of Department of Transportation (DOT) projects. This goal will be achieved through the following activities: (i) Systematically testing, evaluating, and developing standards and guidelines and demonstrating environmentally acceptable and occupationally safe technologies and techniques for the increased use of recycled materials in highway construction and maintenance. (ii) Making information available to State transportation departments, the Federal Highway Administration, the construction industry, local and municipal agencies, and other interested parties to assist in evaluating proposals to use recycled materials in transportation infrastructure construction and maintenance. (iii) Encouraging the increased use of traditional and non-traditional recycled materials by using scientific principles to analyze thoroughly all potential long-term considerations that affect the physical and environmental performance of recycled and secondary materials. (iv) Working cooperatively with Federal, State, and local officials to reduce institutional barriers that limit widespread use of recycled materials and to ensure that increased use is consistent with the sustained environmental and physical integrity of the infrastructure in which the materials are used. More detailed objectives will be determined in cooperation with the RMRC Board of Advisors and the State DOTs who contribute to the pooled fund. |
