PMAC
Abfall in Wohlstand verwandeln - für eine grünere Zukunft
PMAC ist ein innovatives Straßenbelagsmaterial, das Altkunststoffe (LDPE/HDPE) in Asphalt integriert. Dieses Material wandelt nicht recycelbaren Kunststoff in langlebige Infrastruktur um, verbessert die Festigkeit und Widerstandsfähigkeit der Straßen und reduziert gleichzeitig die Umweltverschmutzung und die Kohlenstoffemissionen um etwa 4 kg CO₂-Äquivalente pro Tonne. Diese nachhaltige Kreislaufwirtschaftslösung ist mit der bestehenden Straßenbauinfrastruktur kompatibel. Eine Patentanmeldung läuft.
