The recycled materials resource center: a new partnership promoting the wise use of recycled materials in the highway environment

The Recycled Materials Resource Center (RMRC) was formed in, late 1998 as a partnership with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to help reduce barriers to the use of recycled materials in the highway environment. The Center has large research and outreach components to its mission. Ongoing research activities are introduced and outreach activities of interest to a European audience are summarized. The Center will be working diligently over the next five years to develop specifications and evaluation methods, transfer appropriate technology, and make information available to the highway community.
