Furthermore, Australia generates over 14 millions of tons of municipal solid wastes (MSW) every year. Recognizing the gravity of these issues, innovative recycling strategies have emerged, involving the incorporation of MSW ash (from paper, wood and plastics) into fired clay bricks, tiles and roads. While the products manufactured from recycled wastes have satisfied the relevant compliance requirements, they outperform the conventional products in saving energy and manufacturing costs. We are currently focused on scaling up the production process to facilitate the commercialization of our innovative recycled waste emended construction products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presentation by Associate Professor Dilan Robert (RMIT University)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":186,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"nba-redirect":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[6],"tags":[20,5],"class_list":["post-1491","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-presentations","tag-construction-waste","tag-plastics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
