Bike path made from recycled plastic testing in Netherlands
A pilot program in the Netherlands is testing a bike path made from recycled plastic.
The project, called PlasticRoad, uses prefabricated, modular sections made from 70% recycled plastic.
Recycled plastic is weather resistant, and its carbon footprint is lower than that of concrete or asphalt.
PlasticRoad, which launched this month, opened a bike path less than 100 feet long, and the project leaders are working to open one in another Dutch city this fall.
