Experiential Learning Tour - Plastic Roads: Paving the Way to Sustainability

Pre-Registration Required

Join us on a journey to the forefront of sustainable infrastructure with the Plastic Road project at the University of Texas at Arlington. A project that has been featured on CBS, Fox, NBC, and various local news outlets, this student-led research project has developed into a groundbreaking innovation. Witness how recycled plastic is incorporated into asphalt, revolutionizing road and parking lot construction. Visit the plastic road-testing facility and observe sections of the innovative plastic road that have withstood extreme conditions. Learn how this project is addressing climate change and promoting a circular economy.

Snacks and drinks will be provided.
