CSIR-CRRI (Central Road Research Institute) and BPCL (Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited) received recognition from the India Book of Records and Asia Book of Records.
They created the first roadblock section using technical textile geocells made from end-of-life plastic waste.
The project was developed to promote sustainable road infrastructure and scientific plastic waste management.
The technology converts difficult-to-manage plastic waste into durable road construction material, supporting the circular economy.
The project was recognised as a first-of-its-kind innovation in road engineering and sustainable infrastructure development in India.aa
