Australia: A new civil engineering standard now permits geopolymer and high-supplementary cementitious material concrete in government infrastructure projects for the first time. Sustainable Concrete Group has launched EcoFume, a silica fume replacement made from recycled glass at the company’s facility in Brendale, Queensland, with production capacity of up to 1075t/month. The company said that the product meets ASTM C1240 standards and has been independently validated by the Australian Road Research Board.
It is derived from 100% recycled material and can replace up to 100% of silica fume with a reduced impact on the environment, according to the company’s social media post.
