  • Recycled Glass in Asphalt
    CWC Best Practices in Glass Recycling Recycled Glass in Asphalt Material: Recycled Glass Issue: Asphalt containing glass cullet as an aggregate is called “glassphalt,” and has been widely tried as a means to dispose of surplus waste glass since the 1960’s. Glassphalt is basically the same as conventional hot-mix asphalt, except that 5% to 40% of the rock and/or sand aggregate is replaced by crushed glass. The cost-effectiveness of substituting glass for conventional aggregate is highly dependent on the location, the quality and cost of local aggregates, and any credits available for using recycled materials in beneficial re-use applications. Best Practice: This Best Practice discusses the benefits and applicability of glassphalt. For details on the preparation and installation of glassphalt, refer to the Preparation and Placement of Glassphalt Best Practice. For a complete discussion of the history of glassphalt also refer to the Glasphalt Paving Handbook (2) . Glassphalt was originally developed as an alternative to landfill disposal of mixed color waste glass. Mixed color glass, which is unsuitable for recycling into new containers, is generated by most recycling programs. If there are no alternative local markets for mixed color glass and the only other option is disposal with landfill tip fees, using processed glass as a substitute for natural aggregate in asphalt may be an option to be considered. A great number of glassphalt demonstration projects have been performed in cities around the country. Most of these projects have not progressed past the pilot stage because of economics. It is not economical in most parts of the United States to collect glass, process it to a specification aggregate, blend the glass with natural aggregate, add the batch modifiers needed to meet specifications, and deal with the operational changes required for glassphalt.

  • Cullet Supply Issues and Technologies David Rue
    Cullet Supply Issues and Technologies David Rue The Glass Manufacturing Industry Council White Paper on Cullet Utilization and Opportunities is funded entirely by GMIC and is provided to all interested parties at no charge Cullet Supply Issues and Technologies October, 2018 The objective of this study is to provide information to assist GMIC members in gaining a better understanding of ways in which more post-consumer cullet can be recycled and to investigate technical changes GMIC could catalyze to make that happen. This White Paper Study was led by David Rue with input from Robert Lipetz (GMIC Executive Director) and input from experts on collection, processing, characterization, procurement, and re-use of cullet. The opinions of experts are often but not always in agreement. Efforts have been made to include input from all parties. To obtain the most open possible input, the names of all respondents have been excluded from this document. No proprietary information is included. Several company names are included, with the understanding that these references are for illustration and informational purposes and not as endorsement of the companies themselves. Introduction Glass is 100% recyclable. Recycled glass competes with raw material batch and must rely on cost to drive utilization. A wide range of factors affect the cost of cullet to the glass companies. Most surveys (EPA, Container Recycling Institute, GPI) agree that roughly 11 million tons of glass is disposed of each year in the US, and 32-34% of that glass is recycled. Approximately 2.7 million tons were recycled to container glass and 1 million tons to fiberglass in 2017 (Resource Recovery magazine, 2018).

  • Alta Trail Surfaces
    [email protected] (877) 347-5417 WWW.ALTAPLANNING.COM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PACIFIC NORTHWEST NEW ENGLAND What’s Under Foot? Multi-use Trail Surfacing Options by George Hudson, Principal, Alta Planning + Design When approaching a trail project, trail designers and local agency representatives often assume their trail will be surfaced with asphalt or perhaps concrete if budget allows. These are some of the most common and acceptable materials used on trails. But this may not be what local residents had in mind when the trail idea was initially conceived. Or, local residents may not have considered the trail surface until a specific surface was proposed, and then suddenly everyone has an opinion. Trails typically serve a transportation function but most trail users do not want a trail to appear as a mini-roadway. This often leads designers into an exploration of possible trail surfacing options. These conflicts often lead designers into exploring possible trail surfacing options (of which there are more every year), including: traditional asphalt and concrete limestone treated surfaces permeable asphalt and concrete rubberized surfaces, such as "Nike Grind" commercial soil stabilizers organic surfaces, such as bark mulch and geotextile confinement systems wood planer shavings chip seal agricultural by-products, such as filbert shells crusher fines wood, in the form of boardwalks In arriving at a recommended trail surface, several key criteria should be considered including: Initial Capital Cost – Trail surface costs vary dramatically and dollars to build trails are scarce. Construction costs include excavation, subbase preparation, aggregate base placement, and application of the selected trail surface.

  • Effect of Waste Glass on Properties of Asphalt Concrete Mixtures
    Jordan Journal of Civil Engineering, Volume 11, No. 1, 2017 Effect of Waste Glass on Properties of Asphalt Concrete Mixtures 1) 2) 3) 4) Zaydoun T. Abu Salem , Taisir S. Khedawi , Musa Bani Baker and Raed Abendeh 1),3),4) Al-Zaytoonah University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan. 2) Jordan University of Science and Technology, Irbid, Jordan. ABSTRACT With the rapid economy growth and continuously increased consumption, a large amount of glass waste materials is generated. This study attends to study the performance of asphalt concrete mix, where some of fractional fine aggregate is substituted with different percentages of crashed glass materials of 5%, 10%, 15% and 20 %. The Marshall design was used to examine the influence of the Optimum Asphalt Content (O.A.C.) at different fine glass percentages and the resistance against water. Asphalt-concrete mix properties can be improved by using a hydrated lime admixture and other mixtures. It is expected that the recycling and use of waste glass in asphalt mixes is feasible. Subsequently, by obtaining low price and economic mixes that will reduce the O.A.C., increase the stability and the durability of the mix, in addition to increasing the skid resistance of the road surface, this will reduce accidents and save a lot of money. By crushing and sieving, waste glass materials can be used as fine aggregates in asphalt concrete, where this is called glassphalt. Satisfactory performance of upper asphalt pavement layers can be achieved by adding glass waste with 10% of the mix. KEYWORDS: Glass waste, Water stability, Skid resistance, Optimum asphalt content (O.A.C.).

    ABSTRACT REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE & RETHINK: ASSESSING THE SUSTAINABLE AND CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF PARK FURNISHINGS FOR THE MILL CREEK GREENWAY TRAIL, CINCINNATI, OHIO by Molly E. Hicks This paper reports on materials available to create reused and recycled park furnishings for the Mill Creek Greenway Trail in Cincinnati, Ohio. Research was done during a summer 2005 internship with Mill Creek Restoration Project to identify materials that were available for use in the proposed Mill Creek Greenway Trail that would reflect a sustainability ethic. In other words, in what ways could furnishings for the greenway trial be created (multi-use trail, benches, signs, landscaping materials, etc) that would help protect the environmentally sensitive Mill Creek, while also reflecting and encouraging environmentalism in the Cincinnati region. Eight criteria were used when analyzing each material for possible use: proposed use for material, cost, durability, aesthetics, safety and health, sustainability and environmental impact, life cycle costs, and local, regional, state and national availability.
