is the future of reusing, recycling, and repurposing waste materials on road and rail infrastructure across Victoria. The aim of this Victorian Government initiative is to integrate recycled and reused content into every corner of Victoria’s $90 billion Big Build by incorporating waste products wherever possible.
The ecologiQ Innovation Showcase series provides a platform for the industry to pitch their emerging products and gain the attention of key government decision-makers as well as receive feedback.
At the showcase event on 28 April 23, Renolith’s Managing Director, Thurstan Williams, presented the Renolith 2.0 nanopolymer admixture. This innovative product enables pavement (road) base and sub-base layers to be constructed from 100% recycled materials and/or in-situ soils. Thurstan explained how Renolith nanotechnology substantially improves the results achievable from cold-recycling processes using cementitious binders. He presented two case studies where Renolith has been used very successfully; the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games and the Brenner Autobahn Reconstruction. He then outlined the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from road construction by using the Renolith 2.0 admixture in combination with lower-carbon binder blends in lieu of cement. Finally, he touched on the severe damage to Australia’s road network from recent extreme wet weather (water + cracks + traffic = potholes) and explained how Renolith can help create a much more durable road network (impermeable + crack-free = no potholes).
The expert panel and audience asked some insightful questions, including:
Renolith looks forward to strengthening ties with fellow travelers in the ecologiQ community on our collective journey toward a circular economy.
