India: Building roads from plastic waste


(MENAFN)An advanced new road building technology for the 21st century is developing rapidly in India now.

According to a World Economic Forum report, more than 33,796 km of roads in India are plastic roads.

A new report, however, said in a statement that the actual length of Indian roads using the innovative, home-grown technique runs for more than 100,000km as of October.

Experts say that using recycled plastic to build roads curbs pollution and also create jobs, however; there's more to it.

According to new research, those plastic roads are not only greener, but are also stronger and maintenance-free, that they could last about three times as long as conventional road structures.
