Plastics pose a serious threat to the environment around us. A survey conducted by the Central Pollution Control Board found that 60 big cities in India generate over 15,000 tons of plastic waste daily.

As reported by National Geographic, there are about 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic debris dumped in the oceans. These pose a serious threat to the marine life. However, with effective collection techniques, these waste plastics can be put to good use.

Plastics are immune to most forces of natural damage, making them apt to produce Lego roads. Roads made of Reinforced Thermoplastic Composite Lumber (RTCL) are superior to traditional roads. Since 1998, there have been multiple bridge projects in the United States of America using RTCL materials. The first was in Wharton State Forest, New Jersey. This was followed by two bridges at Fort Bragg, North Carolina in 2009. In 2010, two RTCL railway bridges were built in Virginia. These railway bridges have a stress limit of 130 tons. RTCL roads are expected to last at least 50 years, which is almost triple the lifespan of traditional roads. The structure can easily handle extreme temperatures caused by direct sunlight, with deviations of less than 0.003 inches/year. They feature a unique hollow design, which makes them structurally stronger and cost effective. They are designed to have a Snap-on mechanism and can be directly laid on sand, which makes their maintenance quicker and easier.
