Innovative thinking in Bhutan may result in most of their plastic becoming part of the pavement. Until recently, Bhutan had to either dump the plastic in landfills like most countries, or ship it to India for recycling. Even Bhutan has more plastic waste than they expect.

Bhutan needs roads. Turning a negative into a positive.
