AtlanChannel is manufactured from a patented polymer mix that incorporates renewably sourced street sweepings and recycled materials. This diverts millions of glass bottles from landfill each year. Helping your project reach its sustainability goals, this composition includes up to 80% recycled glass and gravel content.
This recycled material acts as a bonded, high-compressive strength filling material, which optimises AtlanChannel’s design by increasing its strength and durability. This provides all the environmental benefits of using recycled feedstock without sacrificing robust structural characteristics.
Bridging the gap between economics and the environment, this use of sustainable materials helps close the loop and create circular economies that enhance environmental outcomes in urban development. With Australia recycling just 56% of its glass packaging each year, these innovations help to ensure that we harness renewable resources to replace virgin quarried materials.
Australians use 1.3 million tonnes of glass packaging annually, and it is estimated a quarter of this becomes rubbish that goes to landfill.
Circular economies ensure that we harness the efficiency and sustainability of renewable resources, which offers substantial benefits such as reductions in environmental impact, carbon reductions, reduced waste and the alleviation of pressure on natural resources. This helps to foster developments that enhance environmental outcomes and support biodiversity.
