A highway paved with recycled diapers may change the cloth vs. disposables debate
... more than 100,000 dirty, disposable diapers — or “nappies,” as they are called here — are being used to help pave a road in west Wales.
This is a pilot project with intriguing environmental implications. A proliferation of diaper highways could reduce landfill waste — and influence parents around the globe weighing the vexingly difficult decision between cloth vs. disposables.
These particular diapers were rinsed — thoroughly, don’t worry. Then shredded into fibrous gray pellets and mixed with asphalt that a work crew clad in bright orange slathered over a 1.5-mile stretch of winding highway this week.
...
Several countries have experimented with roads made with plastic garbage. India led the way — glue made from shredded plastic waste has been holding together a street in Chennai since 2002, and since 2015 the Indian government has required road construction in populous urban areas to incorporate plastic waste. The Netherlands, a country of keen cyclists, opened the world’s first bicycle path made with recycled plastic. And California used discarded plastic bottles and other packaging to repave a three-lane stretch of highway.
...
Wales — a semiautonomous nation of 3 million people — has been more creative than most with its recycling policies. And along with Germany and Taiwan, it is among the top recyclers in the world.

Back in the 90s Auburn, Washington did a test of paving a heavily traveled street with a mixture of ground up used tires and asphalt. Within a year the pavement was disintegrating and they had to give up and repave it normally.

Wow - that was a weird option to try Gordon. Asphalt wears rubber down, so it seems an odd one to mix them when they will have torsional stresses put om them.

O what?!? O Shima - O no!
I never thought to do that Michael.
As you come down the picture it's the third one. I wonder how long it would take to simply sail from one to the next? Join the O Shima dots

I wonder if Debrett's Etiquette and Modern Manners has anything to say about these new-fangled situations?
Aha! They do have a list:
