Road surface using waste plastic
Anyone know how durable it is? I did a quick search but it's all just marketing fluff.
TIA |

Road surface using waste plastic
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.

SteveW 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. |

SteveW 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
