Mumbai, August 9 Finding an ecological solution to reuse polythene and plastic waste, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation laid a 100-metre stretch of road at Dadar using plastic and asphalt. This stretch on Prof V S Agashe Road near the Kohinoor Technical Institute in Dadarwas laid by the civic body's Road department with the help of the Indian Centre for Plastics in the Environment (ICPE) . The BMC will test its sustainability for a year and then decide whether to lay an entire stretch of road using waste plastic.
