Opening 1st PlasticRoad bike path in the world
A world premiere in the Netherlands: the first PlasticRoad bike path was recently opened in Zwolle, Overijssel. Inventors of the PlasticRoad, Anne Koudstaal and Simon Jorritsma – together with Member of the Provincial Executive of Overijssel, Bert Boerman and Alderman William Dogger of the municipality of Zwolle, cycled the first bike path made from recycled plastic.

A second PlasticRoad bike path pilot in Giethoorn, near the pilot location in Zwolle, will be opened in November.
