Household waste turned into green roads

We are “green machines” in Sunbury, paving the way for better roads for Victorians, by laying asphalt containing recycled household waste.

 The Sunbury Road Upgrade has resurfaced sections of road between Bulla-Diggers Rest Road and Jackson’s Creek containing up to 40 per cent recycled materials – diverting more than 18,000 tonnes of waste from landfill.

It’s estimated 10 Victorian jobs are created for every 10,000 tonnes of waste material kept out of landfill – leading to about 3900 jobs over the next decade.

 The sustainable asphalt product incorporates recycled glass sand, and reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and is manufactured by Alex Fraser Group.

Since joining forces with Alex Fraser to use Green Roads Construction Materials, the project has, to date:

• Diverted over 18 million tonnes of concrete, brick, rock and asphalt from landfill.
• Reduced 585 tonnes of carbon emissions.
• Recycled over 20 million glass bottles.

In recognition of these stats, Winslow Infrastructure was presented with a ‘Sustainable Outcomes Certificate’ by Alex Fraser earlier this month.

Sustainability is a critical consideration in the works we deliver.

As a progressive organisation looking to future proof our operations, Winslow Infrastructures works with partners who share our values of building better roads for the future.
