GUWAHATI, Nov 28 - In keeping with the government�s mission against single-use plastic, the Military Engineer Services, which provides rear line engineering support to the Indian Army, is undertaking a pilot project for road construction utilising plastic as a partial substitute to bitumen.
This ambitious project has been undertaken at the Narangi Military Station, where approximately 1.24 MT of plastic waste have been used to construct the road using the technology.
In this technology, the road is constructed by mixing shredded plastic waste with heated bitumen.
This is a green technology, which aims to reduce menace of plastic waste on one hand and improve the durability of the roads on the other.
