CNN reports that Indian Dr. S. Madhu of the Kerala Highway Research Institute has formulated a road surface that includes recycled plastic. Aggregate, bitumen (asphalt) with plastic that has been shredded and melted at a temperature below 220 degrees C to avoid pollution. This road surface is claimed to be very durable and monsoon rain resistant. Apparently the plastic has been sorted by hand, which is economical in India. The test road used 60 kg of plastic on 0.5 kilometer long by approximately 8 meter wide two lane road. Each kilometer of one land road, would need 60 kg of plastic trash.
