Plastic Road Research & First Pilots (2018–2020)

Meters of Road Built

KG Plastic Used

1^st

In Nepal

Project Overview

Launched in 2018, this pioneering initiative introduced plastic-mixed asphalt technology in Nepal — adapted from successful models in India and Bhutan. Green Road collaborated with technical experts and local communities to demonstrate that low-value plastics (PP, MLP) could be effectively used in road construction.

Key Achievements

Nepal’s first plastic-mixed asphalt road successfully constructed
2,500 meters of durable, pothole-resistant roads built across pilot sites
Over 3,000 kg of low-value plastics diverted from landfills and rivers
Technology now adopted by municipalities and private contractors nationwide

“This was the spark that ignited the plastic road movement in Nepal.”
