eMesh – 100% Recycled Macro Synthetic Fibres

Completely replaces virgin MSF or steel reinforcing mesh to deliver innovative reinforced concrete

About eMesh

eMesh is 100% recycled macro synthetic fibres made from recycled plastic. An Australian innovation, eMesh completely replaces virgin macro synthetic fibres or steel reinforcing mesh to deliver innovative reinforced concrete.

Using 100% recycled MSF is up to 90% reduction in CO2 compared to steel mesh. Representing the next generation of innovation for standard virgin plastic fibres in concrete, eMesh is a more sustainable, cost-effective, easier and safer to use alternative to the conventional concrete reinforcements.

In 2013 we undertook a full cycle research and development program with James Cook University to develop a unique recycled macro synthetic fibre. After a successful trial in 2015, eMesh was introduced to the Australian infrastructure projects. In the same year, eMesh won the Australian Innovation Challenge Award in the manufacture & infrastructure category. eMesh is now widely used as a sustainable alternative to steel mesh and steel fibres in concrete construction in infrastructure projects across Australia.

Advantages 

eMesh is a 100% recycled macro synthetic fibre so in addition to the benefits of MSF reinforced concrete, eMesh promotes sustainability while delivering environmental and social benefits without adding cost to the construction and infrastructure projects.

The green credentials of eMesh have been tested by researchers, reporting up to 90% saving on CO2 emissions and reduced fossil fuel usage compared to traditional steel mesh reinforcing. The scientific findings behind the eMesh claims have been peer-reviewed by the prestigious Journal of Cleaner Production. eMesh has a third-party audited Environmental Product Declaration (EPD).

When using eMesh, councils can claim green ratings and private companies can boost carbon ratings, without additional costs. The environmental assessment conducted as part a PhD study confirmed the environmental benefits of using eMesh over SL72 mesh, such as savings on CO2 emissions.

eMesh Applications

Macro synthetic fibres can be used in a wide range of applications.  Typically, these fibres are used in:

Footpaths

Pavements

Driveways

Cycleways

Shared Pathways

Traffic Islands

Road Medians

Precast Pits

Precast Tanks

100% Recycled eMesh is not just more sustainable than steel mesh, it also makes concreting

Easier, Safer and Faster
