CAA supporting use of recycled aggregate in infrastructure projects

The Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) is backing a coalition advocating for the use of Recycled Crushed Aggregates (RCA) in public infrastructure projects in Ontario. The coalition, comprising ten organizations, calls for policies that mandate RCA use to improve road safety, reduce costs, and lower carbon emissions. By including recycled materials, the initiative aims to standardize construction practices, curb construction costs, and accelerate project delivery. An estimated mandate of 20% RCA use could save communities $260 million annually and significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions.
