South Asia Gateway Terminals (SAGT), furthered its commitment to driving sustainable business practices throughout its operations in a recent road surfacing project carried out at the terminal on 26th and 27th August 2021.
The road surfacing project involved the usage of Plastic Modified Asphalt Concrete (PMAC), an innovative solution that converts Sri Lanka’s single-use use plastic waste into an industrial raw material for road construction. The asphalt mixture incorporates plastic waste as a substitute to a percentage of bitumen fossil fuel which allows for reduced greenhouse gases. The initiative underscores SAGT’s commitment to reduce its carbon footprint.
