THE Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has approved the use of plastic waste to extend the lifespan of asphalt pavement, and, at the same time, help address the alarming rise in plastic pollution, one of the major causes of flooding in the metropolis.
Public Works Secretary Manuel Bonoan has directed all DPWH regional offices, district engineering offices, and Unified Project Management Office Clusters to use shredded plastic in road construction projects.
