Stumbled onto this page. I'm a geotechnical engineer with the DOT (and an RPI alum, btw). We use a product known as geofoam or EPS (expanded polystyrene) in certain lightweight fill applications (i.e. with retaining walls or over weak soils). Look here to get an idea... http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/crt/lifecycle/geofoam.cfm http://geofoam.syr.edu/ Maybe not a perfect match since we need to bury the product -- and obviously we don't want it to biodegrade -- but we have many initiatives to use recycled materials so there could be some viable uses in my field.
