· Free Press Journal
Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh): In a major push towards eco-friendly infrastructure, plastic waste that once posed a threat to the environment is now being used to build roads in Jabalpur. Under the Government of India's 'Waste to Wonder' initiative, engineers have replaced a portion of conventional bitumen with recycled plastic in nearly 12 to 13 kilometres of service roads. The initiative is part of the ₹3,500 crore ring road project, scheduled for completion by December 2027.
According to officials, the initiative aims to promote sustainable infrastructure development by incorporating recyclable materials into road construction. The use of plastic waste has helped reduce the consumption of bitumen, commonly known as damar, while providing a productive use for discarded plastic.
