The French civil technical centre (STAC) of the DGAC publishes material guides in particular to promote the use of recycled materials.
As part of these initiatives, the STAC has built a 1:1 scale test bed incorporating recycled materials on its Bonneuil-sur-Marne site, with the assistance of Eiffage and Cerema. In the long term, this equipment should facilitate the decision of airport infrastructure managers, particularly with regard to safety.
