No, recycled aggregates are permitted providing they meet the relevant performance criteria for each construction layer, ensuring the material will perform as well as conventional materials. Clause 710 of the SHW and the content of all foreign materials (including wood, plastic and metal) shall not exceed 1% by mass.Therefore, they should not be more susceptible to poor workmanship than their conventional counterpart.
