The joint-venture that was formalized through the signing of an MOU on Tuesday aims to create a ‘world without waste.’ In the first phase, a one-kilometer road in the federal capital will be modeled under this concept.

VP and General Manager of Coca-Cola Pakistan-Afghanistan, Fahad Ashraf, believed that this idea would provide a breakthrough solution to turn plastic waste into a productive economy.
“We also want to focus on building a community around the idea and the innovation itself. For any concept to be applied and adopted, the people must first believe in it. And it needs to make social and commercial sense.”
He said that the TeamUp and NIC would help to expand the idea nationwide via hackathons, conferences, white papers, and policy changes.

A good initiative, for recycling purposes. Many countries are already using old tyres for carpeting purposes with success.
 
Very interesting. Plastic won't melt in summer as tarmac does in Pakistan.
