    Cool, sounds like something I've heard being in development.

    Using plastic to replace asphalt in roads is being developed, but I think more microplastic with that and vehicles.

    For some applications their colorful appearance may be a feature not a bug :) But painting might be a good idea because UV will have a real but unequal effect across the included plastic types.

    Not complaining though - I think this is a very good idea.

    A decade or so ago, I remember reading about using clear, empty water bottles in the roof and walls to admit light ... an affordable alternative to glass.
