Description
Alexandrina Nan and co-authors turn two industrial wastes into road building materials. Stone dust and plastic waste both harm the environment when dumped. The team mixed them into fake stone blocks for road work. Tests of wear gave a strong score, showing the blocks can stand in for natural stone. The dust could also soak up dyes and hold them in the final stone.
A second product is a tar-like mastic used to seal road joints while hot. Here stone dust and used cooking oil replace the usual filler, which comes from a scarce source. Standard tests compared both products with goods on sale. The results support waste-based goods as part of a circular economy for roads.
