First time in India, the Indian Army had built a road out of plastic waste. The road was built by using around 1.24 metric tonne of plastic waste. The road was built in Guwahati, Assam. The road was constructed as part of the Narangi military project a project to Military Engineering Services.
By building road out of plastic it is considered that India can curb down the plastic waste which is a serious threat to environment.
In line with the Govt’s mission against #singleuse plastic and initiative to reduce, reuse and recycle plastic waste, 1.24 MT of waste plastic has been used to construct a road in Narangi Military Station which is a pilot project of MES for road construction.@adgpi @easterncomd pic.twitter.com/HSXCUJyrCS
