摘要：	Recycled materials that have suitable engineering, environmental, and economic properties can be used as substitutes for natural aggregates or materials in the construction of highway infrastructure. These recycled materials are either recovered materials from the transportation sector or secondary or byproduct materials from the industrial, municipal, or mining sectors. Since the 1970s, a number of countries in Europe have been routinely using recycled materials with a high degree of success. The most remarkable thing about the European experience is that the recycling rate of materials in the highway environment frequently reaches 100%. In recognition of recent developments on all levels and the growing interest within the U.S. highway community, a team of U.S. recycling practitioners visited Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden to observe research, policies, and programs promoting the use of recycled materials in the highway environment within those countries. Of particular interest to the scanning team were the economic, engineering, and environmental approaches that enable the high recycling rates and the successes seen in those countries. All of the countries had some sort of sustainability policy in which recycling was an integral part. The U.S. delegation is now working with their respective constituencies to promote recommendations from their summary and final reports. To further promote technology transfer and to start reducing barriers, a demonstration project is planned for the fall of 2000 in Houston, Texas.
