• Abstract:
  The Oregon public and Oregon Legislature have great interests in the use of recycled waste products. The costs of waste disposal continue to increase as existing landfills approach maximum capacity forcing development of additional landfills. In response to these concerns, the Legislature passed Oregon Senate Bill (SB) 66, in part, directing the Oregon Department of Transportation to conduct a research project to evaluate the use of recycled plastic products and composite materials containing recycled plastic in construction and maintenance. Since the fall of 1992, recycled plastic snow poles, fence posts, sign posts, and a sound wall have been installed in Oregon.
