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.

        this isnt really a good idea cause if you think about it it will hurt animals on the road or lost and if they do that they will have to keep making plastic witch is not the best idea either because plastic is made in a factorys and factorys have a gas come out thats not good for humans animals or plants

          It won't hurt animals on the road because regular pavement doesn't hurt them. They are going to be making plastic anyways and this is a good way to recycle the used plastic.

                    This is a good idea, but plastic can be dangerous.
