What is Beneficial Use?
Beneficial Use is a
practice that takes appropriate secondary materials out of the waste
stream and uses them in place of more traditional virgin material.
Beneficial use has potential in a number of industries, including
construction, transportation, electrical generation, and waste treatment, to provide cost
effective replacements for aggregate, fill, cementitious material, drying
agents, and many other materials currently in demand. Beneficial use
not only provides secondary materials for Maine companies to use, but
it also decreases cost and demand for disposal facilities and
maintenance.
