In der Nähe der spanischen Stadt La Font de la Figuera, die gut 350 Kilometer von Madrid entfernt ist, entsteht momentan eine Autobahn aus Altpapier. Verantwortlich für das Projekt ist die Organisation Paperchain, die mit diesem Text zeigen will, dass man Straßen auch aus emissionsarmen, umweltverträglichen Materialien bauen kann. Das Papier, das nicht mehr recycelt werden kann, wird verbrannt und dann im Straßenbau genutzt. Umweltfreundliche Straßen bauen If you were to use the paper covering in the construction of roads, you could save around 18,000 tons of cement and the environment between 65 and 75 percent of CO 2 emissions, calculated the TU Madrid. In the long term, the waste paper road surface is to be used throughout Spain. According to a study from 2014, around 130 million tons of paper and eleven million tons of pulp waste are produced every year that can no longer be recycled. ← How to Reduce Your Water Footprint Google wants to become climate neutral with wind power → You May Also Like Climate neutrality already feasible in 2045 April 27, 2021 0 Happy Birthday, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change!
