Paving our way to a Sustainable and Resilient Future

Sources of new or ‘virgin’ construction materials are depleting and waste stockpiles are increasing. With growing opportunities to recycle waste materials into road infrastructure, how far have we come in developing these materials and what are the environmental considerations?

For over 30 years NTRO has led Australia’s research and development in the use of recycled and alternative materials in road pavements. We have worked with state and local government and the private sector to run trials and enable the widespread use of recycled materials including crumb rubber, plastics, glass, reclaimed asphalt pavement and crushed construction and demolition waste.

This course introduces the context, concepts and principles underlying this and provides a broad range of in-depth knowledge for practitioners, researchers and industry partners in the framework of a local circular economy.
