2. A lightweight design, a fraction of the
construction time, virtually maintenance
free, and three times the expected life-
span. PlasticRoad, which consists of
100% recycled material, is the ideal
sustainable alternative to conventional
road structures.
New Innovations
PlasticRoad features numerous advanta-
ges compared to conventional roads, bo-
th in terms of construction and mainte-
nance. 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. Additionally, the
PlasticRoad design features a 'hollow'
space that can be used for cables, pipes
and rainwater.
Prefabrication
PlasticRoad's concept is in line with de-
velopments such as Cradle to Cradle and
The Ocean Cleanup: the initiative to
free the seas of 'plastic soup'. Recycled
plastic is made into prefabricated road
parts that can be installed in one piece.
The prefabricated production and the
lightweight design also make the con-
struction of a PlasticRoad into a much
simpler task. Roads can be built in
weeks instead of months. It is also much
easier to control the quality of the road
(stiffness, water drainage etc.).
More resistant to the ele-
ments and wear
PlasticRoad is a virtually maintenance
free product. It is unaffected by corrosi-
on and the weather. The road structure
handles temperatures as low as -40 de-
grees
and as high as 80 degrees Celsius with
ease. It is also much more resistant to
chemical corrosion. Estimations predict
that the lifespan of roads will be tripled.
That means less road maintenance and
less to no traffic jams and detours.
Space for cables, pipes, and
water
A major advantage of PlasticRoad is the
hollow structure that can simply be in-
stalled on a surface of sand. In addition
to the options mentioned above, it is
also possible to integrate other ele-
ments in the prefabrication phase. The-
se elements include traffic loops sen-
sors, measuring equipment, and connec-
tions for light poles.
