WORK COMMENCES ON DEPARTMENT FOR TRANSPORT'S FIRST WASTE PLASTIC HIGHWAY

摘要

Waste plastic roads company, MacRebur, is working with Cumbria County Council to lay the UK's first waste plastic highway in Carlisle. The project is part of the ADEPT SMART Places Live Labs Programme, a ￡22.9 million initiative funded by the Department for Transport. The project will recycle the equivalent of approximately 238,958 single-use plastic bags that would otherwise have gone to incineration or landfill and will cover a combined area of 3079m~2 in what is a first for the UK's highway network.
