Thermoplastic road marking paint is durable but adds to plastic waste. Recycling thermoplastic can help reduce waste and it lasts longer than regular paint, reducing maintenance. Enamel paints used for road markings contain harmful solvents, while water-based alternatives offer comparable performance with lower environmental impact. Assessing the overall environmental impact is important, and two-component paint with water-based options and Epoxy Resin provides durability with fewer emissions. Responsible waste management and greener manufacturing processes are crucial. Smart road markings with sensors can improve safety and traffic flow. Proper maintenance and repainting extend the lifespan of road markings, supporting sustainable transportation systems.
