In Nepal, they have begun filling their streets with tons of plastic waste. Their goal: to become more sustainable

Nepal is testing road pavement made with shredded plastic mixed into asphalt as a way to reuse hard-to-recycle waste.

The method is already being used in Pokhara, and authorities are considering pilot trials in Kathmandu.

Supporters say plastic roads could improve durability while reducing trash, but the material still needs safety and quality checks.

The effort is part of a broader push for more sustainable infrastructure and new uses for plastic waste.
