Recycled content in drainage pipes - What You Need to Know about the New AASHTO Specification 294R

Using plastic drainage pipes in road and infrastructure projects is a common practice, but until now they haven’t contained recycled content.  And, now they can!  Recently AASHTO adopted a new specification – 294R – that allows for plastic pipe products to be certified as containing post-consumer recycled content and meet the rigorous 100 year life span requirements.  

This webinar will provide you the background and insights you need to be sure you are using the latest drainage pipes while providing a positive impact for your community and state’s recycling programs.
