Using Recycled Concrete Could Reduce Road Paving Costs by 10-20%

Civil engineering researchers at Purdue University are currently trying to perfect a process for the handling and reuse of recycled concrete. It is believed that recycling concrete could help reduce construction costs by 20%, and cut down on resources (such as limestone) from being quarried. Working with the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), the process is being evaluated and tested for eventual use in highway construction.
