Key Points 0f FHWA Recycling Policy Recycled materials should get first consideration in overall materials selection. Recycling can offer engineering, economic and environmental benefits. Engineering and environmental properties are important. Life Cycle Cost benefits assessment is warranted. Restrictions prohibiting recycled material that are without technical basis should be removed.
