The webinar will examine how recycled plastics can be responsibly engineered into durable asphalt pavements.
Plastic waste is often framed as a problem. What if it could become part of the solution?
This webinar will examine how recycled plastics can be responsibly engineered into durable asphalt pavements, drawing on ADB-supported case studies from Papua New Guinea. The discussion will explore the country’s waste challenges, local industry capabilities, and why long-term durability defines true environmental and economic value. The webinar features Filippo Giustozzi, professor at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology.
The session is part of the Green Roads Webinar Series which examines the nature-positive benefits of green roads, highlighting their cross-cutting dimension on decarbonization, climate resilience, water management, biodiversity, disaster risk reduction, construction materials, and inclusive growth.
