A University of Texas at Arlington civil engineering professor is using both recycled and unrecycled plastic waste products to fill in surface cracks and reduce rutting in roads—the first use of what’s called “plastic road” material in Texas.
Sahadat Hossain, UTA civil engineering professor and director of the UTA Solid Waste Institute for Sustainability, received a grant of approximately $950,000 from the Dallas district of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).
