In Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, engineers are pioneering a shift towards sustainable infrastructure by incorporating recycled plastic into road construction. As part of the Government of India’s Waste to Wonder initiative, 12 to 13 kilometres of service roads within the ₹3,500 crore ring road project have been built using a blend of conventional bitumen and recycled plastic.
This innovative approach aims to reduce the consumption of bitumen, commonly known as damar, while providing a useful purpose for discarded plastic waste. The use of plastic waste in road construction has not only brought environmental benefits but also significant cost savings for the project. Officials have expressed optimism about the potential for similar initiatives to proliferate across Madhya Pradesh, fostering eco-friendly practices in future infrastructure developments.
