HOW PLASTIC ROADS WORK

-

Household and commercial waste is converted into plastic pellets.

●The pellets replace a majority of bitumen in the asphalt mix.

●The plastic pellets bond well with tar and oil on the roads as they are both petroleumb­ased products.

●Plastic pellets are made from items which usually end up in landfill making the process good for the environmen­t as well.

The plastics used in the roads also reduce the need for fossil fuels.
