Northern Beaches
Northern Beaches Council has joined forces with 15 Sydney councils to drive a new age of sustainable road-making by prioritising the use of recycled crushed glass where feasible as a substitute for natural sand in local roads and footpaths.
It is all part of the Southern Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils (SSROC), Paving the Way initiative.
Starting in July 2021, Paving the Way is expected to recycle the equivalent of over 80 million glass bottles per year back into local roads, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to planting 14,000 trees per year. The recycled crushed glass is turned into a coarse sand which is used as a substitute for natural sand in asphalt, non-structural concrete and pipe bedding.
