Tripura to make 50 KM city road with plastic waste

Agartala, June 29 (UNI) With the decision of the central government to phase out single-use plastic items by this year, Tripura has decided to build about 50 kilometres road stretch in the city using plastic waste in a phased manner, said government spokesperson Sushanta Chowdhury on Wednesday.
Chowdhury said Agartala Smart City Mission had built one kilometre road using plastic waste on an experimental basis and it yielded an impressive result in terms of sustainability and durability of the road and cost of the project besides availability of the materials.
“Taking a cue from the success of one kilometre road stretch in the city made by plastic waste and the decision of phasing out single use plastic, our PWD department has proposed to make all the major roads with non-degradable waste largely single use plastic and the cabinet cleared the nod to go ahead,” Chowdhury stated.
