National policy on road laying using plastic waste on cards

摘要

ENCOURAGED by the use of plastic in road laying in Tamil Nadu, the Centre is mulling a national level policy on its usage on roads. " Using plastic in laying roads will increase the life of roads. We have to prepare a national level policy on this. We are talking over this," Environment and Forests Minister, Mr Jayanthi Natarajan, said on the sidelines of the seventh national meet of State biodiversity boards here. Chennai Corporation earlier this month had launched a programme to use plastic in laying roads, an idea developed by a Chemistry Professor in a Madurai-based engineering college.
