The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) initiated a program in 1994 to encourage the use of recycled materials in Texas road construction and maintenance projects. TxDOT has learned a great deal from its 5-year initiative to use more recycled materials, and although these lessons are presented from the perspective of a state department of transportation, the ideas also apply to local road and bridge departments. The lessons are presented in seven steps: designate a point-of-contact, assess the situation, identify competitive recycled materials, formulate a plan, develop a tracking system, create a level playing field, and communicate. TxDOT's experience is provided for each step. |
