GREEN PAVEMENT COMPANY Recycled plastic makes better roads. Green Pavement Company is committed to building superior road surfaces by using a patented leading edge technology. We continue to strive to lead in developing sustainability for road construction and our conscious recycling program is our promise to evolve road infrastructure to a higher level of excellence. Our goal is to eradicate landfills to build longer lasting sustainable roads making the transportation sector the new landfill. We provide "green" engineering designs, along with recycled plastic modifying mixtures needed to fulfill contracts based on road foundations, road usage and climatic conditions. We are a full service production company providing road testing, cost analysis, construction, finishing and maintenance. In addition to our in house staff, we provide jobs for poverty level individuals to fulfill the important role of waste-picking in order to gather waste materials necessary to build "green" roads. Our role is to provide better, longer lasting, environmentally clean roads that serve to sustain the planet and reduce the carbon footprint. “The properties of the waste materials were evaluated by means of physical-chemical and calorimetric tests, and the performance of the modified bitumen was analyzed by means of creep, multi stress creep recovery and fatigue tests.

GPC ADDED VALUEThe Green Pavement Company is committed to

providing the Pave the Road non-profit

organization with recycled plastic school roads to

protect thousands of school kids from harmful

bacterial road dust.  

Pave The Road is a non-profit Organization dedicated to building roads in front of open

air schools in Costa Rica using innovative green patented technology, that introduces Recycled Plastic Waste into the road construction. In many areas of the country, where there is

little precipitation, schools are situated beside unpaved roads and children are becoming ill

from the bacterial road dust. Asthma, allergies, bronchial respiratory disorders, skin infections ,eye infections, unhygienic conditions are a few of the results. Because of this, we have founded this organization to give kids

the chance to thrive in a healthy environment, where they can find comfort without the

threat of constant illness from the road dust.
