The new Circular Economy Report for Western Bay of Plenty highlighted concrete and plastic as two problematic materials with regards to waste. Priority One Western Bay of Plenty's Circular Construction Collective is committed to reducing construction waste through diversion and repurposing initiatives. Our most recent meeting was focused on concrete which generates a huge amount of emissions to produce and is also problematic to dispose of. The Circular Construction Collective discussed collaborate efforts to support this challenge and potential initiatives to support a more sustainable construction industry for our region. We had a great representation of the concrete waste solutions at our meeting. We started with Steve from MixUP who presented on their eco-max concrete. They swap out certain materials which lowers the concrete carbon footprint. Klaudia Matyjas from Envirocon presented on Interbloc, a system capturing concrete excess and diverting it from landfill. The blocks remain in use and can be used repeatedly for different applications. Drew from Rock Stocks presented on their demo concrete that is being crushed and put back into the industry it came from. And lastly, A&J Demolition presented on their reuse and repurposing approach to demolition. Saving what they can and giving it another life. The Circular Construction Collective share their waste diversion initiatives and are focused on the future of building better for the environment. This group is connected to SBNs national build out waste in the construction sector programme of work. Together with industry and local councils we are committed to driving our region forward to a more circular economy.

Did you know that recycling concrete and asphalt is transforming the construction industry? Traditionally, these materials ended up in landfills, contributing to waste and increasing costs. But thanks to modern crushing technology, we can now repurpose them effectively! 🔨 How It Works: Concrete Recycling: Demolished structures are broken down and crushed on-site or at recycling facilities. The processed material can be used as a subbase or even as aggregate in new concrete mixes. Asphalt Recycling: Over 80% of removed asphalt is recycled in the U.S. It’s crushed and reused in paving mixtures, allowing for up to 100% recycled content! ⚙️ The Benefits: Cost-Effective: Recycling often costs less than disposal, plus it saves money on materials. Eco-Friendly: Reduces landfill waste and transportation emissions, promoting a sustainable future. Ready to Transform Your Recycling Process?

🏢 #Concrete is everywhere. It’s a strong, durable building material used all over the world. 4.2 billion metric tonnes is the estimated amount of #cement produced each year around the world. Eventually, these concrete slabs, driveways, paths, and buildings reach the end of their life. 🏗️ In 2021-22, Queensland recycled 78.1% of #construction and #demolition waste, with the Queensland Government setting ambitious waste reduction targets to sustain and increase this over the coming years: →  2025: 75% →  2030: 80% →  2040: >80% If we continue at the current rates, do you think we'll reach full #circularity in our industry? At Moreton Bay Recycling we are part of the solution driving the #circulareconomy by keeping concrete out of #landfill and recycling it into useful products (without making it more expensive or inconvenient for small businesses 😉).
