The role of recovered aggregates in the realisation of the major works of Next Generation EU

The PNRR (National Recovery and Resilience Plan) envisages the financing of a large number of public works that must be realised within predetermined timeframes and according to environmental sustainability criteria. Many of them infrastructures (roads, ports, railway lines, etc.) will require huge quantities of materials such as sand and gravel to build the foundation or the quays and all related port works.
Recycled aggregates, produced by the treatment of construction and demolition waste, can represent an important alternative to natural materials, also in the light of the positive experiences in their use.
