Federal land management agencies recently received instruction and direction through Executive Order 13423 Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management that required Federal agencies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and develop programs to become more sustainable. Executive Order 13423 identified six areas for lessening environmental impacts; one was waste prevention and recycling of materials. In an attempt to address this Executive order, this document provides a variety of tables, references, links, and case studies to assist in developing a program to recycle industrial byproduct materials, such as crushed concrete, asphalt, and shingles. Currently, information is available regarding the use of industrial byproduct materials in construction applications, particularly pavement construction and maintenance. This document provides road managers with an easy-to-use toolbox with the basics on using recycled materials in construction projects, particularly road construction and maintenance. Also, it provides information on where to find guidance to verify that recycled materials are used correctly. This document provides information on materials if you have a recycling application, or provides information on applications if you have a material to use. Table 1-3 provides additional information (references, links, and case studies) for materials or applications.
