Dr. Sahadat Hossain, director of the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) Solid Waste Institute for Sustainability, has been working on the project alongside a group of Ph.D. students and one postdoctoral research associate for the last three years.
Hossain and his team have said they “don’t want plastic to go into the landfill” and are using plastic waste products to develop a material that can be used to fix cracks in roads, per WFAA.
