Plastic waste, mainly of single use type, is a troublesome component of litter or garbage. Following the dictum of  “waste being a resource at wrong place” many people in India and abroad are working on different ways to convert and use plastic waste into valuable products or solutions .

AMA, in association with “Innovative Thought Forum” an India centric think+act tank- wishes to focus on practical work and potential for plastic waste for roads ,building products and construction systems.

The proposed workshop is designed to bring together solution providers, specifiers, policy makers, designers, contractors and financiers. The focus in the workshop is going to be on immediate implementation and hence common theme will be on action on ground right away.

There are many great successes like plastic waste based roads, wood polymer composite, plastic timber, poly pallets, tetrapack waste boards etc that are spreadable or scalable .In the workshop several solution providers will share their knowledge to show how plastic waste can become s great resource while making our country Swachh .
