A new guide on how to conduct trials of recycled and reused materials for transport projects will help project teams, suppliers and contractors shape a greener future for Victoria.
Ecologiq, a state initiative to support the use of recycled materials in government infrastructure projects, has put the guide together and will host an information session on Thursday, 23 September.
The state government’s Recycled First Policy requires bidders on Victoria’s major transport projects to optimise their use of recycled and reused content.
The policy aims to maximise the use of recycled and reused materials within major transport projects, build a better understanding of the types, volumes and location of recycled and reused material use and support new markets and innovation.
The policy supports the circular economy and is expected to reduce the amount of virgin material used in major transport infrastructure projects and the amount of waste going to landfill.
Ecologiq is supporting the implementation of the Recycled First Policy, as it helps Victoria innovate and grow its domestic recycling capabilities, build local markets and find new uses for recycled content.
