The Wavin project incorporated the equivalent of more than 218.000 plastic cups and was a collaboration between Dutch road construction company KWS , plastic recycling firm Wavin and Netherlands 's Total. The location is equipped with sensors to monitor the road’s performance, including temperature, the number of bike passages and the durability of the road.
