Recycle plastic

The aging of social infrastructure has become a serious problem, and it was reported that by 2033, approximately 60% of roads will be more than 50 years old. Furthermore, while periodic pavement inspections and the establishment of road maintenance methods is required in line with revisions to the Road Traffic Act, etc., the construction industry is faced with another serious problem stemming from a shortage of civil engineers who play a key role in the maintenance of our social infrastructure.
In recent years, momentum is building behind movements to realize a sustainable society that looks ahead to the future, including the conservation of marine resources by reducing plastic waste and developing safe, secure, and resilient infrastructure.
Using waste PET (discarded Polyethylene Terephthalate), Kao developed the NEWTLAC Series, a high-durability pavement modifier, and established a technology to promote
positive recycling. NEWTLAC Series is a unique asphalt modifier developed by Kao that combines pavement durability enhancement with waste plastic recycling.
