Sheikh Rashid Ahmad, Pakistan’s Minister of Interior, has inaugurated the country’s first plastic waste-paved road.
The launching ceremony was attended by a huge number of children, notably schoolchildren.
They were carrying placards with slogans advocating for environmental protection against plastic waste. The project, which was accomplished with the help of a public-private collaboration (Capital Development Authority, Coca-Cola, and National Incubation Centre), intends to address the country’s massively mismanaged plastic trash problem, which is the worst in South Asia (in terms of percentage).
