Mr. Ahmed Khan, a plastic sack manufacturer, developed a polyblend which is used with bitumen. This outstanding contribution in saving environment can be categorized as:
Plastic is the material which does not decompose easily and naturally. Environment friendly alternatives like carrying cloth bags or bags made of any other natural fibre and refusing to accept polythene bags are some steps to be taken. Many genius people came up with unique means to tackle this plastic problem, one of those genius minds is Ahmed Khan.
He developed a material that is polyblend from plastic which is mixed with bitumen while laying down the road and enhances its water repelling properties. It also helps increase the road life by a factor of 3. Khan also started paying the rag pickers higher wage of Rs. 6 per kg against Rs. 0.4 per kg of plastic waste. This incentivized the rag pickers and encouraged them to collect the plastic waste even more diligently. Thus his contribution can be categorized as a 'solution to reduce public waste accumulation'.
