Welcome to Clinker Chat, the SmartCrete CRC conversations series with innovation leaders.
In this episode, SmartCrete CEO Clare Tubolets heads to Paintback’s PACE HQ, where unwanted paint is responsibly disposed of, upcycled and diverted from landfill. Clare chats with Paintback’s CEO John Ferraro and R&D Manager Rachael Roberts about how a research collaboration with Swinburne University of Technology is turning paint into a concrete additive for improved strength and durability.
