VolkerWessels unveils plastic road concept (Video-GIGadgets)

A really intersting idea brought to us by VolkerWessels and a great animation by GIGadgets.

Dutch construction firm VolkerWessels has unveiled a new concept named PlasticRoad, and is looking for partners to further progress the idea.

The company noted that the project is still in the conceptual stage and it plans to materialise the idea in three years.

Comprising roads made of 100% recycled material, the PlasticRoad concept would significantly reduce construction and maintenance time, as well as the roads crafted from recycled plastic will extend their expected lifespan.

Compared with conventional roads, the lightweight design in the PlasticRoad concept will make the construction easier, with lesser time.

The company said in a release: "Plastic is much more sustainable and opens the door for a number of new innovations such as power generation, quiet road surfaces, heated roads and modular construction."
