PolyPave Global Inc. views plastic waste not merely as an environmental burden, but as a critical Public Health Risk. In rapidly urbanizing regions, plastic accumulation in drainage channels is a primary cause of stagnant water—the principal breeding ground for malaria-transmitting vectors and the root cause of destructive flash flooding.
Our "Waste-to-Wealth" model provides an active intervention strategy. By removing non-biodegradable polymers from the ecosystem and locking them into permanent, high-strength infrastructure, we directly contribute to flood mitigation and disease vector control. We are not just building roads; we are engineering cleaner, safer, and more resilient communities.

ENGINEERING FOR OPERATIONAL CONTINUITY
Risk: Inconsistent plastic waste quality.
Mitigation: PolyPave™ proprietary thermal-fusion units utilize multi-stage sorting and "reactive stabilization" to neutralize impurities, ensuring consistent 55MPa output regardless of feedstock source.
Risk: Local power instability.
Mitigation: Every Micro-Factory module is designed with Integrated Energy Resilience, utilizing high-efficiency heat exchangers and optional hybrid-solar backups to ensure 24/7 production capability.
Risk: Lack of local spare parts.
Mitigation: Modular design philosophy. Our Canadian engineering team provides a 24-Month Critical Spares Kit with every deployment, coupled with remote diagnostic monitoring from our Ontario HQ.

Addressing technical specifications and implementation logistics for stakeholders.
Yes. Our units are engineered for a compressive strength of 55-65 MPastrong, which exceeds the requirements for high-traffic urban corridors and industrial zones. They are designed to withstand heavy axle loads without the rutting or "shoving" seen in traditional asphalt.
We establish local collection hubs where citizens are paid a fair market rate per kilogram for specific polymer waste (HDPE/PP/LDPE). This creates an immediate micro-economy that incentivizes environmental cleanup and provides a steady income for local families.
Traditional asphalt fails when water seeps into its pores. PolyPave has near-zero water absorption (<0.1%), meaning the stones do not expand, contract, or degrade when submerged. This effectively eliminates the "pothole cycle" common in tropical climates.
Absolutely. Our "Micro-Factory" model uses low-emission thermal stabilization. We do not burn the plastic; we use a controlled heating process that prevents the release of harmful toxins, meeting both Nigerian and Canadian (Ontario) environmental standards.
PolyPave Global is currently seeking strategic partnerships to scale our Waste-to-Road Micro-Factories across Canada and emerging markets.
