Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
1. Plastic waste is a growing environmental problem, but there is a new idea that is turning this waste into
something useful: building roads. Countries like India, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom are
adopting this method, which not only reduces plastic waste but also creates stronger, more durable roads.
2. The process works by breaking plastic into small pieces and mixing it with asphalt. This mixture makes
the roads less likely to crack, even in extreme weather conditions. Roads made with plastic can last up to
three times longer than traditional ones. This means fewer repairs are needed, which saves money and
resources.
3. In India, this method is becoming very popular. More than 100,000 kilometers of roads have been built
using plastic waste. This helps reduce plastic pollution and improves road quality at the same time. The
government is working with companies to collect plastic waste so it can be reused instead of being thrown
away in landfills or the ocean. This practice also creates jobs, as more people are needed to collect plastic
waste, process, and prepare it for road construction.
4. There are some concerns about whether heating plastic to make roads could release toxic chemicals.
However, scientists are looking for ways to make sure the process is safe. As more countries try this idea,
plastic roads could become a key part of a cleaner and more sustainable future.
