Trials of recycled plastic roads

This week, RMIT University announced a pilot project working with 10 councils to lay test strips of recycled road. The project will use up more than 21,000 kilograms of recycled plastics and lay near 10 kilometres of recycled road in total. VicRoads continues to trial recycled materials, including rubber, soft plastics and crushed glass.

Meanwhile, India made recycled-plastic roads mandatory near big cities in 2015, and the Netherlands has been installing plastic-only roads that don’t use any bitumen at all.

These are ideas, explained simply when you search plastic road on IdeaSpies.
