In Queensland, the uptake of recycled material usage in unbound granular and stabilised pavements has been relatively limited since the 2010 publication of MRTS35 Recycled Materials in Pavements. This has been due to various reasons, including the perception that recycled materials are inferior to virgin materials and procurement barriers associated with having separate specifications for recycled and natural/quarried materials. The aim of this multi-year project is to facilitate the increased use of recycled materials in unbound pavements used by the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR).
