Arizona's I-17 expansion uses recycled glass foam as structural fill
Engineers in Arizona used recycled glass aggregate as structural fill during an expansion project on Interstate 17. The foam glass, produced from recycled bottles, provided lightweight support for drainage culverts while demonstrating strong compressive strength. This eco-friendly approach reduced the need for costly culvert replacements and helped minimize construction delays. The project effectively converted waste material into a functional infrastructure solution.
