Recycling yoghurt pot plastic with asphalt for roading

With China and Malaysia no longer accepting foreign plastic waste, the race to work out what to do with our recycling is on. In a New Zealand-first, a 90 metre stretch of road there's been paved with a plastic and asphalt blend called Plas Mix. In New Plymouth. one section of road contains the equivalent of more than 83,000 yogurt pots. It's been developed by Road Science, whose technical director Darcy Roberts spoke to our Taranaki Whanganui reporter Robin Martin about the product.
