Future Highways Could Be Made From Recycled Plastic Bottles

You know all those statistics about Americans using enough plastic bottles every year to circle the earth "X" amount of times? I wonder how many roads that would translate into? What would it be like to do burnouts on plastic roads?

Plastic bottles are recycled into jeans, toys, furniture and, yes, more plastic bottles. The Dutch city of Rotterdam wants to turn them into highways. The city is seriously considering the technology, which is called PlasticRoad.
