This was the first installation of the New End Market Opportunities (NEMO) for Film Asphalt Project, which added more than 4,000 pounds of rPE into hot asphalt. With a focus on extending the life of plastic waste, this research project could be used in paving a future parking lot using 20,000 pounds of rPE or 1.5 million plastic bags.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLyondellBasell is a proud member of Plastics and we have the opportunity to collaborate on innovative projects often in order to advance recycling and sustainability, not only in the U.S. but around the globe,\u201d says Plastics\u2019 President and CEO Tony Radoszewski. \u201cThrough this unique project, the LyondellBasell team demonstrates how all plastic can and should be used to its highest potential.&#8221; In early June, Plastics had announced the completion of research on a new formulation of asphalt binder using the \u201cDry Process.\u201d This is where recycled rPE is incorporated as a solid additive during the asphalt mixture manufacturing process. The formulation offers many of the same benefits of traditional polymer-modified asphalt, including improved performance, and increased lifespan, at a decreased cost.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were extremely intrigued by the opportunity to participate and collaborate in this project,\u201d says Chuck Holland, site manager of the Cincinnati Technology Center. \u201cLyondellBasell is taking a leadership position in sustainability, and this is one step of many that affirms our commitment in playing an active role.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.recyclingtoday.com\/article\/lyondellbassell-plastics-paving-parking-lot-rpe\/\">Recycling Today<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Plastics Industry Association (Plastics), Washington, D.C., and chemicals and refining company based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, LyondellBasell, have announced the use of the equivalent&#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14674,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_FSMCFIC_featured_image_caption":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_nocaption":null,"_FSMCFIC_featured_image_hide":null,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[5594],"tags":[9987,1621,8425,9988],"class_list":["post-34057","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chief-editors-choice","tag-plastic-industry","tag-plastic-recycling","tag-polyethylene","tag-retail-bag","wpcat-5594-id"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/construction-4216749_1280.jpg?fit=91%2C100&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34057","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34057"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34057\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34174,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34057\/revisions\/34174"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14674"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34057"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34057"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34057"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
