In the U.S., a pin concept developed by Dr. Sahadat Hossain, an professor of civil engineering at the University of Texas at Arlington, “turns plastic’s non-decomposition from an environmental headache to an engineering solution.” The pins, made from recycled plastic — about 500 soda bottles each, are drilled into the road to reinforce its structure and make road repairing in Texas much more manageable and cost effective.
