While Bhutan is developing its network of roadways, its climate, and mountainous terrain contribute to road degradation, making it difficult for transport and commercial activities. Green Road, a construction company, has developed an eco-friendly and resilient solution by paving roads using plastic waste. In this webinar, learn more about how Green Road is working on its objectives of saving the environment by segregating all plastic waste from the landfills in the country, building eco-friendly roads reducing the import of bitumen, and investing in bitumen for road construction, and generating employment for the youth in the country.  ​
