Environmental Research

As post-consumer recyclable materials like tire derived aggregate gain increasing acceptance in the marketplace, it is paramount that potential environmental impacts be studied and the results made widely available. With this in mind the EPA Resource Conservation Challenge engaged the University at Maine to undertake a comprehensive literature review of environmental studies performed on TDA. That compilation along with other information available on the subject can be accessed at:

Additional information on environmental considerations specifically from the use of TDA in Septic Systems is provided on the UB Demonstration Project page of this website.
