Indonesia’s Chandra Asri Petrochemical plans to work with the government to test the effectiveness of plastic-mixed asphalt.
In the early stage, Chandra Asri will use three tonness of plastic waste-asphalt mix to pave around 6.3km or roads around the its own plant, said Edi Rivai, general manager of technical services and production.
Rivai said the plastic-asphalt mix with around 6% plastic is usually around 30-40% more durable than pure asphalt.
