Fundamental environmental regulation: Secondary Aggregate Directive
Based on a detailed scientific concept, the Secondary Aggregate Directive lays down the requirements for the production and use of substitute minerals (MEB) in road construction and earthworks throughout Germany. A distinction must be made when using MEB in landfill construction, in asphalt or concrete. For those areas of application, the EBV does not apply. In addition to defining potential recycling options, the EBV specifies the requirements for monitoring the quality of environmentally relevant parameters. Compliance with these parameters forms the basis for classification into two material classes, referred to as HMVA-1 and HMVA-2.
