Episode 9: Saving the planet with plastic roads


Listen Later

This month, we’re talking all things sustainable as it’s #RecyclingWeek! We’re joined by Toby McCartney - co-founder and CEO of the plastic road company MacRebur - to find out more about how thinking innovatively can truly change the world.

Toby - along with friends Gordon and Nick - established MacRebur in 2016 to solve two big problems: the waste plastic epidemic and poor quality roads. From their base in Scotland, the team developed a process that incorporates waste plastic into the bitumen used in the construction of roads. This never-before-seen product creates better quality roads with fewer potholes and diverts waste plastic away from landfills, oceans and the environment. It’s a win, win, win!

Now being laid all over the world, MacRebur’s roads are ‘paving the way’ for a more sustainable future. We’re incredibly proud to manage MacRebur’s PR, so if you want to find out more please get in touch!
