As part of our Road to Recycling initiative, a road construction industry
panel identified 12 materials with great potential in road construction that are
readily available in Texas in potentially large volumes, offer engineering
benefits, cost-effective pricing and no increased environmental risks.
We have assembled packets of information for each of these materials. The packets include a material
overview, research summaries, case studies, a list of current specifications, a list of material sources and a
summary of experiences with the material. Material Summaries

Recycling Facilities and Recycled Material Suppliers The
Recycled Materials Mapping Application is a map that helps locate recycling
facilities that handle these recycled
materials. The system classifies a facility as one of the following:
- Generator - recovers or diverts a material or byproduct that can be used in a
roadway material
- Processor - produces a road construction product using recycled materials
Please help us keep this information complete and
current by providing corrections and additions to the information in this system
to the TxDOT Recycling Program by e-mail, phone (512) 302-2422 or fax (512) 302-2428.
Note: TxDOT maintains this system solely to provide information on
recycling facilities. TxDOT does not recommend doing business with any
particular organization or endorse any product. |
