NSW boosts recycled glass content in asphalt
The NSW Government has announced new guidelines for recycled glass content in asphalt used on infrastructure projects across the state. The current allowance of 2.5% glass content has been raised to 10% in a bid to encourage recycling in the industry. Additionally, constructors Fulton Hogan and John Holland have been awarded grants of up to $250k each to promote recycled content use. Fulton Hogan will upgrade its Eastern Creek asphalt site whilst John Holland is trialing the use of geopolymer concrete containing crushed glass as a replacement for sand.
