Axion International Makes Rail Road Tracks, Bridges, and I-Beams from 100% Recycled Material
The United States recycles only 27% of its plastic bottle waste – fortunately, Axion International is working on raising that number by developing building materials made from 100% recycled content, most of which comes from plastic bottles. Axion’s materials are created without the use of additional chemicals, and they’re so strong they can be used for heavy load bridges, railroad ties, I-beams, and pilings. A bridge made completely of Axion’s materials is even being built right now in York, Maine– read on for a closer look!
