Repurposing recovered organic materials as alternate raw materials for brick production
Project summary
This project will be a test case for incorporating organic waste into the manufacturing of bricks. If the project is economically and environmentally sustainable, it will be adopted across Australia promoting sustainability practices and environmental protection.
The main objectives of this study include:
- To optimise the organic (ARM) content in bricks for optimal mechanical, durability, leachability and aesthetic properties.
- To achieve the necessary emissions controls that is required to be implemented to receive longer term approval from NSW EPA.
- To carry out Life Cycle Analysis to identify the overall economic, environmental and social benefits of LC Bricks (Low Carbon Brick).
