Most single-use plastic items cannot be recycled and end up in landfills (Credit: Plasticfreechallenge.org)

The invention of plastic has been a double-edged sword for humanity. While the cheap, versatile material has made life convenient, it is virtually indestructible and takes centuries to decompose. Since avoiding plastic is impossible, companies worldwide are coming up with innovative ways to repurpose the millions of tons of polymer waste that end up in our landfills annually. Among the latest is California-based TechniSoil Industrial, which has devised an ingenious way to reuse plastic waste to repave roads.

    It's heartwarming to see that there are people out there who take global warming and pollution into consideration! I'm fully on board with everything they are implying. Helping reduce the number of disposed plastic, while also re-using it to create more projects like roads is an incredible idea. There should be more people out there who take plastic accumulation more seriously.

          I am a partial yeasayer and partial naysayer because it feels like putting our waste into the roads so we don't have to worry about it. But on the other hand, it is helping the two main problems in this world.
