[Plastic] China's first waste plastic recycling and environmental protection road opened in Shanghai

On April 22, the 52nd Earth Day, China's first waste plastic recycling and environmental protection road was officially completed and opened on the Xuhui campus of East China University of Science and Technology in Shanghai.

According to reports, this 300-meter "plastic road" uses Dow's innovative ELVALOY? RET asphalt modification technology.

Although milk bottles are easy to recycle, the high pollution rate caused by milk residues makes recyclers generally unwilling to accept these wastes.

The reason why plastics are highly valued by brands, recyclers and other value chain partners is that plastics can force all parties in the industry to jointly promote sustainable development strategies and reduce the discarding of plastic waste and affect the natural ecological environment.

Professor Li Tao, Vice President of East China University of Science and Technology, said: “Our school is very pleased to see the fruit of the Milk Bottle Road project today.

According to the "Research Report on my country's PET Beverage Packaging Recycling and Utilization" issued by the China Beverage Industry Association and the Chinese Academy of Environmental Sciences, the national beverage bottle recycling rate can reach over 94%, and the recycling situation is relatively optimistic.
