Recycling plastic into ... roads

A Tasmanian government body has found a very unique way to   recycle   single-use   plastics   and other landfill-bound waste by building a new road.  173,600 plastic bags and packaging, 82,500 glass bottle equivalents diverted from landfill, Toner from approximately 5,900 used printer cartridges and more than 33 tonnes of recycled asphalt were  repurposed to create the 330 tonnes of asphalt used to construct a 500-meter long road along Charlton Street in the town of Snug, outside the city of Hobart. It's the first road of its kind in the Australian state. Great example to follow.

Ocean Clean-Up has finally begun !

A great ecological project has now become a reality as the Ocean Cleanup deploys its $20 million system designed to reuse and recycle the ocean plastic. Here is the latest photo: The floating boom system has been deployed from San Francisco Bay and will undergo several weeks of testing before being hauled into action. The system was designed by the nonprofit Ocean Cleanup , which was founded in 2013 by 18-year-old Dutch inventor Boyan Slat. Their mission is to develop "advanced technologies to rid the world’s oceans of plastic." The floating boom system, with the help of dozens of more booms, is estimated to clean up half of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch within the first five years. Each boom will trap up to 150,000 pounds of plastic per year as they float along the currents between California and Hawaii.
