Plastic is one of the most commonly used products and which can be easily recycled. The plastic materials that are often being recycled into bottles, containers, bags, toys, and much more.

3) No stripping and no potholes
4) Plastic roads increase binding and better bonding of the mix

6) No effect of radiation of UV
7) The strength of the road will be increased by 100%
8) The cost of road construction will also be decreased
