The Plastic Road Venture

Andrew Roberts

Founder

Every year millions of pounds of plastic find the ocean. This does not seem like a good location for all this plastic, and there must be a better use for it. Thus, The Plastic Road venture was created.

The Plastic Road venture has set out to expand what is the standard in the road construction industry today. Roads have been built with the same asphalt and concrete for centuries, but why. With all the technological advances in society why has there not been a better way of constructing roads. That is what our venture is set to change. Our goal is to expand the understanding and use of incorporating recycled plastics to construct and repair our countries roadways.
