The robust infrastructure, 24,6 meters long, was built by the company Axion with resulting materials for the80% from recycled plastic from bottles of detergents and products for hygiene and for 20% from bumpers and dashboards of old cars.
Impervious to insect infestations ed exceptionally resistant, the bridge made of 100% recycled plastic is made with materials that do not absorb moisture or allow the proliferation of mold. Its implementation fits into the program of waste containment in Logan County, which has set itself the goal of reaching zero by 2020.
For this reason, it was decided to entrust the work to a company capable of using eco-friendly materials.
