The Netherlands uses renewable plastics to build smart bike lanes

Waste plastic recycling not only saves energy and reduces pollution, so it has been paid much attention by all countries. The Netherlands has offered a new idea in this regard, with the first eco-friendly smart bike path made of renewable plastic recently completed in Zwolle, Upper Etser province.
the two-way bike path is 30 meters long and uses the equivalent of 218,000 plastic cups or 500,000 plastic bottle caps
The
. It is assessed to be three times more durable than asphalt concrete roads and emits less CO2 during preparation.
bike path consists of 11 prefabribriited panels 3 meters long and 2.4 meters wide for easy transportation and installation. The interior of the road is designed as a hollow structure, which facilitates the laying of cables and pipes and also facilitates drainage when it rains. Sensors are also installed under the road surface to monitor road temperature, number of bicycles passing, etc. at any time. It is said to be the world's first eco-friendly smart bike path.
project is a big step towards building the way forward with renewable plastics," said Ann Calderstal and Simon Yoritzma, inventors of the project. What you see is a bottle, but we see a road. The
the Netherlands plans to promote the bike lanes throughout the country, with a second lane in Upper Etsy to be completed in November and Rotterdam among the planned cities. After the relevant technology matures, renewable plastics are also expected to be used in the construction of parking lots, railway station platforms, sidewalks and so on.
