Abstract
Gives the main findings of a project to examine the non-technical barriers to using small volume wastes (SVWs) as raw materials in construction. The project examined a limited range of industries in UK and concentrated primarily on materials with potential applications in cementitious products, aggregates, fill and hardcore. Reviews the locations, tonnages, and current and potential uses of a range of SVWs identified under the project, describes the barriers to their use and proposes strategies to overcome them.
