PMAC
Turning waste into wealth towards greener tomorrow
PMAC is an innovative pavement material incorporating waste plastics (LDPE/HDPE) into asphalt. This material transforms non-recyclable plastic into durable infrastructure, enhancing road strength and resistance to damage while reducing pollution and cutting carbon emissions by approximately 4 kg CO₂-eq per ton. This sustainable circular economy solution is compatible with existing road construction infrastructure. A patent application is in progress.
