Recycling of concrete is understood as its processing to generate material to be used in the manufacture of other products. Recycling is considered distinctly from reuse of concrete - defined as the wholesale removal and reuse of concrete components in new structures - which has its own set of distinct opportunities and barriers (Iacovidou and Purnell, 2016).

Recycling Concrete Pavements
Concrete recycling has been used extensively in Europe since the 1940's and in the U.S. since the 1970's (NHI 1998). Concrete recycling for paving applications is now performed in at least 41 states (FHWA 2004). Production of RCA in the U.S. currently averages about 100 million tons (91 million metric tons) per year (USGS 2000).

Experimental study on recycled coarse aggregate of concrete
For making recycled coarse aggregate, concrete from a nearby site was used in a testing machine and then by hand with hammers. The broken aggregates are then put through 20 mm, 16 mm, 10 mm, and 4.75 mm sieves, and the aggregates that stay in the 16 mm, 10 mm, and 4.75 mm sieves are used as recycled coarse aggregates that meet IS383-1970 standards.
