			<![CDATA[in the sense that it is recycled, crushed asphalt road surface scrapings are usually pretty cheap.<br />My neighbour bought one 16 ton lorry load for Â£100 (Â£5 / ton + delivery) and got a second for free three weeks later when a contractor was trying to shift it and avoid landfill charges)<br /><br />If it is going to landfill, then your driveway is a far better place, even if it is not the greenest material to start with.]]>

			<![CDATA[The approach we are taking to this project is to use natural / low embodied energy materials/products as far as possible.  The site is in the North of Scotland so we would ideally like something locally sourced.  Although a recycled high embodied energy material is always better than something produced for the project, it would be good if there was something which was inherently low in embodied energy.  I think this question extends beyond this project.  If we are to continue building roads, are we happy to do it using the current range of materials?]]>
