Waste materials such as plastic, glass, organic food waste and tyre rubber can now be used with more confidence in building Australia’s roads and railways.
ARRB has put together a new report which provides an independent, expert review on how to safely and successfully increase the use of recycled materials in road and rail infrastructure.
The report examines 10 recycled materials for their potential use within road and rail infrastructure. Read the fact sheets and both parts of the full report.
ARRB recently held a webinar on this report and what it means for recycled material use in road and rail. To access the recording, click here.
