French company Vinci has built the world’s first stretch of motorway made entirely from recycled road materials.
The “fully recycled road” is a kilometre long and is part of the A10 motorway between Pons and Saint Aubin in southwest France. It was built by two subsidiaries of Vinci Construction, Eurovia and Vinci Autoroutes.
“The old materials are fully reprocessed to make the new roads at a mobile factory [edit: a plant movable to any site. The old supplies are then made into the new road.
