Spanish Wpfa Road Pilot: Waste paper ash replaces cement in subgrade

A Spanish road project used Waste Paper Fly Ash (WPFA), a residue derived from paper rejects and sludge, as a substitute for cement in a stabilized road subgrade. Built in Villamayor de Gállego in Zaragoza, the pilot covered a 1,000-metre-long and 5.7-metre-wide section of a peri-urban road.
