Los Angeles Department of Water and Power
Los Angeles
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power is committed to ensuring long-term sustainability of the City of Los Angeles through Green landscaping among many other fields of action. The largest municipal utility in the country carried out the first pilot project with Arqlite Smart Gravel as a cover for planters in 2021. They took roughly two cubic yards of Smart Gravel, equating to approximately 1.5k lbs of material.
The process follows a one-for-one model, where every 1.5k lbs of the product reuses an equivalent 1.5k pounds of plastic waste. This approach significantly reduces plastic waste and promotes sustainability.
Arqlite provides a solution to the up-to-now unrecyclable plastics currently sent to landfills, incinerated or dumped, contaminating our land, rivers, and oceans. Arqlite proprietary technology is unique as it offers a sustainable alternative to waste generators, both private companies and municipalities, at a cost comparable to landfill tipping fees. This innovative product is destined to be one of many of Arqlite's large-scale solutions for plastic pollution. Arqlite Smart Gravel is one of the first commodity ever, made 100% from mixed plastic waste. Mining landfills instead of mountains, this product takes the best of plastic polymers and generates a filler, three times lighter and ten times better insulator compared to mineral gravel. Proven long-lasting and safe for the environment, this sustainable material is highly appreciated by the Civil Engineering industry, Concrete Mix companies, Precast manufacturers, Landscapers, and Hydroponic growers, among many others.
