The DIRECT-MAT project (http://direct-mat.fehrl.org/) addresses the dismantling and recycling or safe disposal of unbound, hydraulically bound and asphalt road materials. It also addresses other materials related to road use but not commonly recycled in road construction. These include tyre shreds, sediment from ditches, industrial by-products and reinforcement materials.

The end product of the project work will be:

- a web database which will offer information on facilitating the correct re-use of road and road-related waste products back into roads,
- Best practice guides on green techniques for recycling road and road-related waste back into roads.

This short questionnaire aims at providing the DIRECT-MAT partners with the possible user's point of view. The few minutes you accept to spend answering this questionnaire will help us build a useful and handy database.
