14-Recycled Plastic Asphalt Road Construction

This program showcases an innovative approach that turns waste into a valuable resource. By blending recycled plastic polymers into asphalt aggregates, this technology can extend road life by 50% or more while significantly lowering maintenance costs. Roads built with this material are more resistant to potholes, cracks, and surface damage caused by water and freezing temperatures, leading to safer and more durable infrastructure. In addition to cost savings, the process supports sustainability by reducing plastic waste and enabling easier installation of underground utilities, which helps minimize weather-related service disruptions. This program will explore the benefits, challenges, and future potential of this promising construction method. Min/Max: 15/30
