In the Netherlands in the cities of Zwolle and Giethoorn there are two bicycle paths installed made purely from waste plastics. This is the result of an collaboration between three companies: VolkerWessels, Wavin and Total. The "PlasticRoad" can not be compared with plastic roads. The "PlasticRoad" build by the three companies consist of prefabricated, hollow and modular elements made from consumer waste plastics, and is a unique innovation all over the world. The original idea of the PlasticRoad was invented by Simon Jorritsma and Anne Koudstaal. In 2015 the PlasticRoad concept was presented to the world with the goal to find partners to bring the idea to reality[1] The PlasticRoad have a lot of advantages compared to normal roads. the biggest advantages of the PlasticRoad are the hollow space for the storage of excessive water, the light weight and the sustainability benefits .[2]

Plastic roads

Plastic roads developed by Rajagopalan Vasudevan consist of a asphalt mix with plastic waste incorporated into the asphalt mixture. The implementation of plastics in roads also opens a new option for recycling post consumer plastics.[3][4] Australia, Indonesia, India, the United Kingdom, the United States, and many other countries have used technology which can incorporate plastic waste into an asphalt mix.[5]
