Waste/Recycling/Environmental

Last20 is a social enterprise that upcycles plastic waste into innovative solutions, like pavement. We are supplementing a portion of bitumen, the common binding agent in traditional pavement with low-density polyethylene, a plastic that is rarely recycled. Pavement made with recycled plastic preserves limited natural resources (less bitumen required), reduces total energy consumption, reduces total discarded solid waste and reduces C02, S02 (sulfur dioxide) and NO2 (nitrogen oxide) emissions, while maintaining the same or better performance. With economies of scale, this is a more cost-effective solution designed to upcycle tons of plastic waste that would typically end up in landfills or incineration. We are opening up conversations about climate change with our sustainability podcast called Sustainable Sessions. We host businesses, experts and public figures in this niche to discuss the different aspects of climate change and climate action to inspire individuals to make their own impact!
