Meijer is rolling out the latest paving technique using recycled plastic bags from customers

Meijer, an American supercenter chain, has signed a deal with Dow to make parking lot pavement to work on sustainable projects. This recycled polymer modified asphalt (RPMA) parking lot has a three-phase pilot project that collected approximately 12,500 pounds of post-consumer recycled plastic. Meijer placed plastic bag collecting bins in entrance doors in 2014 and now has about 944,000 plastic grocery bags. K-Tech Specialty Coatings, an asphalt emulsion company, changed the base asphalt binder with ELVALOY RET and PCR content of the plastic bags.
