  1. The Plastic Road to Cumbria Heavy emerged materials for the modern world, making a place of their own in automobile and aviation market and quickly finding their way into most walks of life. There are several benefits of using high density materials, as they can be entirely customized to requirements and eliminate the drawbacks posed by metals in all kinds of tools and appliances. plastics as have of quickly the one key suit industrial

  2. • One of the latest ventures to see the use of engineered thermoplastics is roadways. Cumbria, a county in the UK, recently started creating plastic roads that are expected to be more durable and stronger MacRebur, a local firm, is creating these roads using locally- sourced waste plastic to create MR6, a bitumen substitute that can be used in any standardasphalt mix. than their counterparts.

  3. • These plastic roads are excellent news as they not only offer a unique opportunity for the world to reduce the carbon footprint of constructing roads, but they also reduce the amount of bitumen needed in the asphalt mix, thereby offering enhanced road performance and reducing the amount of maintenance work needed. • The Cumbria County Council trialled this new plastic road at a junction near Calthwaite in the month of December 2016. The work was carried out on a section of the road that had to undergo frequent repairs due to the number of heavy goods vehicles traveling to the water bottling plant and sand quarry nearby. The trial is expected to prove the durability offered by high density materials and heavy plastics, marking a huge shift in the way the world looks at road construction and maintenance.
