In 2022, Wales mixed fibres from 4.3 tonnes of used nappies into a highway; the waste replaced asphalt material imported from Europe
Wales recently resurfaced part of the A487 highway using fibers from 4.3 tonnes of recycled diapers.

The clever initiative diverted over 100,000 nappies from landfills while cutting transport emissions.
