Abstract:Reducing waste and reusing materials is now
a part of the everyday fabric of life. Recycling
glass, paper, and plastic is an activity in many
households and businesses. Similarly, the
transportation sector generates huge quantities
of concrete, asphalt, rubber, steel, and glass.
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)
is actively engaged in technical research to
facilitate use of recycled materials. But an equally
important and less researched aspect of recycling
relates to the business of using these materials.
In this project, University of Florida researchers
conducted a series of four tasks to address this,
including costs of recycled materials, their
availability, and the readiness of private sector
contractors to use these materials.
