În 2021, China a construit un drum în Shanghai din 6000 de sticle de lapte. A fost "primul drum din plastic" al chinezilor

In 2021, over 6,000 used milk bottles were repurposed into asphalt for a road in Shanghai, marking China's first 'plastic road'. The initiative, led by Dow and Shiny Meadow, addresses the challenge of recycling contaminated plastic waste. The project aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote a circular economy by transforming hard-to-recycle plastics into infrastructure materials. Dow's approach highlights innovative uses for plastic waste, encouraging other brands to find sustainable solutions. The collaboration with East China University of Science and Technology serves as a model for unconventional methods in waste management and sustainability education.
