UK Test Highway Material from Used Plastic

 Cumbria Country - In order to minimize the use of materials, many countries are now developing highways using basic materials from recycled plastics. Not only effective in terms of material use, the road from the former plastic is also touted more durable than the existing asphalt highway. That's why the use of this material began to be tested on the streets of England, precisely in the region Cumbria County.
As reported by MSN, recycled plastic material for the highway was designed by Scottish company MacRebur. MacRebur calls this material the name MR6. To build a stronger road, MR6 will also be mixed with other highway materials.
In general, highway construction typically uses 90 percent of the mixture between stone, sand and limestone plus 10 percent of materials called bitumen oil-based. This Bitumen will later be replaced by the design MRF MacRebur.
The MacRebur party revealed that MR6 is made from a mixture of recycled plastic waste materials mixed with asphalt to provide longer lasting resistance. They also stated that roads with MR6 are less likely to crack than normal roads. In addition to this, this plastic-based road will make the tires more durable which will then improve the efficiency of the vehicle.
