Have you ever thought about how to make plastic waste into block paving.\u00a0 Well every now and again I read a story that gives great me inspiration that this is possible. This is one of them. The story is how block paving is being made from waste plastic. It creates jobs and uses plastic that would otherwise find itself dumped in landfills. Each piece of block paving has been made with over 200 plastic bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
