This will be accomplished through: research,
demonstration projects, bid procedures, specifications that encourages contractors to initiate, develop and utilize recycle or solid
waste products, education of the public, NCDOT and private industry, project reviews,
and outreach to private manufacturing industries.
The performance and potential for
