We started PolyPavement as an independent, U.S. based company in 1996. PolyPavement's "Natural Soil Pavement" technology was developed in 1989 by ECO-Polymers -- a privately owned, California based polymer-soil development company that aimed to provide soil stabilization technology for roadway infrastructure construction in developing countries. ECO-Polymers was the first and only company of its kind to go beyond soil stabilization and as the originators of "soil solidification", were able to develop technology suitable for creating an all-weather, abrasion-resistant wear-surface for traffic.
