ARC Research Hub for Transformation of Reclaimed Waste Resources to Engineered Materials and Solutions for a Circular Economy

该项目旨在创造新的知识，以减少进入垃圾填埋场的废物，并将回收的废物转化为用于建筑和其他制造业的新材料。它整合了多部门投入和多学科学术研究，以解决十个具有挑战性的废物流。预期的结果是智能材料、社会技术变革、加速测试方法、预测建模、循环生命周期成本和可信的证据基础。结果将带来商业效益和就业机会，并为解决废物生产、管理和再利用对环境的紧迫影响做出重大贡献。

This project aims to create new knowledge to reduce waste going to landfills and transform reclaimed waste into new materials for use in construction and other manufacturing sectors. It integrates multisector input and multidisciplinary academic research to address ten challenging waste streams. Expected outcomes are smart materials, socio-technical change, accelerated testing methods, predictive modeling, circular life cycle costing and a trusted evidence base. Outcomes will lead to commercial benefits as well as jobs and a significant contribution to addressing the pressing environmental impacts of waste production, management, and re-use.
