Road surface using waste plastic
 

Anyone know how durable it is? I did a quick search but it's all just marketing fluff.

TIA

What's the betting that they lay thousands of miles of it and then
decide that wear and tear is releasing too many microplastic particles
to the environment and then spend millions and causing chaos again
removing it all?

They already use ground up CDs in road making as well. The thing is about
microplastic, that inside creatures other ground up substances get included
as well, rock minerals like asbestos and sundry other things. We live in an
imperfect world where these things happen, and one in the end has to somehow
decide how much is causing a problem and how much is undesirable but
allowable.
Its a hard one as the more we learn about life in general the more we find
that the imperfections exist. That is probably why, in the end everything
dies.

No its not. There are good evolutionary
reasons for things not living forever.

That was my initial reaction.

Any €˜dust will be washed off and end up in ground water, enter the water
cycle, .....


I seem to recall there was a suggestion to us recycled tyres as part of
road surfaces.

Off course, once the misguided treehuggers led by the false prophet Greta
take over, we wont need roads.

yeah, this is one of the possible problems I was wondering
about. t first glance it seems like a reasonable way to deal
with certain plastic waste, but then a little bit of thought
brings up questions.

I kinda liked the idea of a bit of midnight local pothole
filling (steady) on some quiet roads and bike paths, seeing as
the local council has given up bothering to do anything. But
that's another moan!

Blimey Brian, it sounds like you've been wearing your Breton top and
smoking Gauloises fags again ;)
