Sounds like a win-win. Based in Lockerbie a bit down the road from me. Great piece, love seeing some ingenuity like this to solve two problems with one solution.

Got me thinking about a company transforming plastic into fuel and gas. Afaik they can use the plastic and turn 80% of it into to gas for cars etc.

That's a great idea. It's great because U.S roads are in a horrible state and this not only improves them, but also is eco-friendly. Who knows if this doesn't become more common? More eco-friendly roads that make use of waste? Excellent!
