The agreement with Trenes Argentinos for the
manufacture of plastic sleepers and the rehabilitation
of the country’s railway tracks is of great importance
for the current reality. It is not just about recycling
one of the most abundant materials in the market but
precisely about giving it a definitive disposal. Because
until now, although most plastics are potentially
recyclable, there were no channels for all their types
that guaranteed their traceability, or even their new
life, and their subsequent recovery would again
depend on responsible circuits and management.
Thinking today about synthetic sleepers is projecting
an increasingly positive environmental impact; it is
promoting a sector for the promotion of public policies
for job creation and the consolidation of publicprivate sector alliances; it is reducing deforestation
and finally providing the country with a clean, safe,
and high-potential transport system.
For the first time in Argentina, the manufacture of
sleepers from recovered plastic material is a reality
and thus guarantees a progressive reduction in
greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to Argentina’s
commitments under the Paris Agreement to tackle
climate change. In this regard, according to the
United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), plastic
accounts for 85% of the waste that reaches the oceans
and warns that, by 2040, the volumes of this material
flowing into the sea will almost triple, with an annual
amount of between 23 [...]
