Funded Activity Summary

Het-Crete: High-Grade Chemical-Treated Heterogeneous Recycled Concrete. Of over 20 million tons of mixed construction and demolition waste generated annually, only 5% is recycled and less than 1% is adopted for low-grade construction activities. This innovative research aims to solve Australia’s mixed construction and demolition waste disposal problem and lower its greenhouse-gas emissions at the same time. The research develops Het-Gregate with novel chemical admixtures and greenhouse-gas emissions to create Het-Crete, with new mixing techniques for its an optimal performance high-grade concrete. Life-cycle analyses will be conducted to generate Het-Crete specifications for the industry. This will significantly elevate Australia’s world standing in recycled concrete research.
