What? Plastic roads? Could India’s Ahmed Khan’s vision become a bigger window into our future?

Plastic Waste Management, which he founded with his brother, Rasool Khan, has built more than 1,200 kilometers, or 745 miles, of roads using 3,500 tons of plastic waste, primarily in Bangalore, India’s technology and outsourcing hub.
Now that’s taking recycling to new heights.
