SmartCrete CRC participant Boral has been featured across major industry outlets following the completion of product development for a next‑generation low‑carbon calcined clay concrete.
In an Australian first, the new product uses Australian calcined clay as supplementary cementitious material, supporting the sector’s decarbonisation efforts.
This milestone follows extensive laboratory testing and field trials, with a test slab made from calcined clay recycled from soil excavated on site.
Technical feasibility work was conducted in collaboration with the University of Technology Sydney, Transport for NSW, and Calix as part of a SmartCrete CRC project, Applications of Calcined Clay in Lower-Carbon Concrete.
This coverage reflects industry and media interest in innovations that improve sustainability in construction materials and support decarbonisation goals across infrastructure sectors.
We’re pleased to see our work featured in several industry and news outlets this week.
Thanks to our partners and media for amplifying the innovation underway.
