Emesh

More than 8.3 billion metric tonnes of plastic has been produced in the last six decades. Emesh recycles these plastic macro polypropylene fibres and adds them to concrete to create a product that replaces steel fibres or steel reinforcing mesh.

Recycling sector welcomes an equal boost of budget and awareness. Read all about it at https://buff.ly/2ShfP4p: https://buff.ly/3miHy4j

Applications are still open for Sustainability Victoria Sustainable Infrastructure Fund. Grants of up to $300,000 are available to support councils to increase the use of products made with recycled glass, plastics, rubber, paper and cardboard. For more info, go to

One of the key advantages of Emesh is its economical, remarkably cost-cutting benefits. The Emesh product can actually reduce construction costs as it arrives on site ready to use, and also offers three-dimensional reinforcement throughout the concrete and correct placement from the onset. Unlike steel mesh, no engineering inspection is needed to ensure mesh is placed to required standards.

While many Councils and Main Road Authorities already use virgin macro poly fibres in concrete in Australia, Emesh allows them to use 100% recycled plastic to achieve the same result.

Emesh is made from 100% recycled plastic and is used to replace steel mesh as reinforcing in concrete. This provides a means to reuse the waste plastic as well as repurposing it to replace steel in concrete reducing the GHG’s for the infrastructure we build for our cities.

Sustainable Infrastructure Fund grants of up to $300,000 are open to councils and alpine resort management boards to use recycled materials such Emesh's virgin plastic fibres in concrete to build new infrastructure including roads, footpaths, and cycleways.

To improve sustainability in local government infrastructure, Victorian Councils can now apply for grants from $50,000 - $300,000 on a $1:$1 co-contribution basis through Sustainability Victoria ask us how?

In a Southern Hemisphere first, the Townsville Underwater Museum has completed Stage 1 of the environmental and tourist attraction.

The MOUA - Museum of Underwater Art is set to be a major tourism attraction and highlights reef conservation, restoration and education on a global scale. The artist, Jason deCaires Taylor, is the world's leading underwater sculptor. His work attracts global interest with tourists and divers eager to learn and interact with his sculptures.

Completion of Stage 1 includes “Ocean Siren”, an intertidal sculpture which will change colour as the water temperature changes, and the underwater ‘Coral Greenhouse’ located at John Brewer Reef. The 12 metre high Greenhouse is interactive and educational and place of regeneration for coral and marine life.

Emesh was selected for reinforcement for some components due to its environmental credits, and the non-corrosive nature of the recycled polypropylene plastic used instead of the traditional steel.

Currently, the Victorian government via Sustainability Victoria is matching $1 for $1 in the production of sustainability infrastructure. Emesh can help you match the challenge of sustainable building in a variety of ways. Get your council to ask us how?

Central Coast Council have used Emesh for over 2 years. Danley’s introduction of PaveX™ was used in a 200m section of pavement measuring 1.5m wide and 100mm thick. Emesh™ fibres (4kg/m3) in 25 MPa concrete was used, supplied by Hanson in the back of the truck, with a 30% glass replacement.

Critical to the sustainability design criteria for Murrawal Road Wyongah was eliminating the use of traditional mesh reinforcement. Fibercon’s™ Emesh™ was used to mitigate the impact of corrosion related concrete spalling and joint failure.

Danley’s PaveX™ was used at the expansion and weakened plane joints. Its unique, recyclable uPVC profiles provide a corrosion-free, UV stable system which complies with the requirements of Australian Standard AS3727.1:2016.

No Steel. No Risk of Corrosion. Ever!

Livingstone Shire Council again chooses Fibercon’s Macro Poly in 2.2kms of Shared Coastal Bikeway. No Steel. No Risk of Corrosion - Ever!

With over 6 years’ experience with the virgin Fibercon product, Livingstone Shire Council has again chosen to take advantage of Fibercon Macro Poly fibres to protect against corrosion.

With stunning beaches and low-lying wetlands, the area around Barmaryee Road at Yeppoon is subject to damage from corrosion to the concrete joints in surrounding pavements, which results in spalling and potential tripping hazards. The N32/20 mix supplied by Tandy Concrete - coupled with 4.6kg of MPP Fibres to 1 cubic metre of concrete - eliminated the need for traditional steel mesh along the 2.2km of the Barmaryee Road Shared Path.

Danley’s PaveX™ Expanda™- a lightweight, corrosion-free uPVC expansion joint system – was also used. A great partnership with ICT-Concreters Warehouse, Tandy Concrete, Danley and Fibercon.

Emesh updated their website address.

Emesh is 100% recycled macro poly and is intended to replace mesh and bar in concrete. We are doing our part to contribute to the massive global recycling movement, at a time when less than 10% of plastics are recycled.
