Give plastic a better home and make roads

This is such a good use of recycled plastic!

UK tests cheaper, longer lasting roads made with recycled plastic

It’s amazing what can be done with recycled materials! All you need is a bit of imagination and a good dollop of curiosity. You’ll get loads of inspiration for your next home project, however big or small, at The Kinder Living Show on 17th & 18th June! #kinderliving #kinderdesign #recycling

    Risa bear that is a very valid question actually. I am going to guess that this will turn out to be just as bad from that point of view as fake grass lawns have turned out to be.

    Laying roads, or what is your business Jared?. Either way, if what you have is a solid business, you can adapt the product and service you deliver and provide a better road, or whatever you´r product is. Progress that actually make the world healthier and more sustainable is not bad in any way at all, so embrace it whatever the kind of business you do.

    It is like some of the oil companies, they are now investing heavily in clean and green energy, not enough obviously, but they have started to lay the work to change their entire business around, improving the world and making sure their own company will remain current and relevant and profitable.

    Thanks for the post. Awareness … posts such as this help citizens know that alternatives such as road use for plastics exist.

    Now, knowing this, we can assist by advocacy and word of mouth knowledge distribution.

    Thank You.

    I had no idea it took that much heat. I would think that the plastic with other composite materials would hold up under some of the most extreme heat exposure from the sun.

    Anything would be better than the stuff we have in Britain that goes squidgy at the first sign of sunshine and cracks at the first sign of frost. Seriously, our roads are rubbish.

    I guess this is what we do best… think of ever more creative ways to clean up the mess we made while still producing more of it… Mind, I do believe we need all these ideas considering the enormous amounts of plastic waste we have already created but I also think that we definitely need to stop producing more of it.
