A California Highway becomes the first state road made from all recycled materials in the U.S.
California-based company, TechniSoil Industrial has created a process that integrates recycled plastic into road repaving. The process also incorporates 100% of the old asphalt, another aspect that saves on air pollution and landfill waste. The TechniSoil’s polymer-infused roads have also proved to be sturdier, flatter, safer, and more durable than those made with regular asphalt. This new repaving process using all recycled materials was first tested last month, replacing three lanes of 1,000-foot highway in Northern California highway, becoming the first state road made from all recycled materials in the U.S. Los Angeles plans to test out the TechniSoil repaving process on a quarter-mile stretch of downtown L.A. in October.
