Could “plastic” roads pave the way to a more sustainable greener future? 🤔💭🛣
In partnership with National University of Singapore (#NUS), we are trying out ✨ new road mixes by ♻ upcycling ♻ waste plastics on some roads! 🧴🛣️
There are two ongoing field trials at three locations:
1️⃣ Waste Plastics as Additives in LTA’s existing road mix where heavy vehicles 🚚 frequent at Jalan Buroh. In fact, our earlier tests here have shown an impressive 30% improved road performance compared to the existing mixes! 😱
2️⃣ New Bituminous-Plastic Composite mixes at segments along West Coast Highway and PIE 🏍️. If successful, this new road mixes are expected to perform better than or comparable to LTA’s existing road mixes in terms of:
✔️ Improved urban cooling, and
✔️ Reduced tyre-pavement noise!
Hurray to a greener and more sustainable Singapore!
