ecologiQ is the future of reusing, recycling and repurposing waste materials on road and rail infrastructure across Victoria.
The aim of this Victorian Government initiative is to integrate recycled and reused content into every corner of Victoria’s $90 billion Big Build by incorporating waste products wherever possible.
ecologiQ comes at a pivotal time, given the Council of Australian Governments' move in 2020 to ban the export of waste plastic, paper, tyres and glass. The Victorian Government’s ecologiQ program was created to find this waste a new home - as construction materials for transport projects. For more information, visit: ecologiq.vic.gov.au/

ecologiQ Innovation Showcase - December 2024
The ecologiQ Innovation Showcase series gives industry and their research partners the chance to pitch ideas and products to a panel of senior Victorian Government and senior industry leaders and experts.
To move to a circular economy we must find new uses and solutions to reuse, repurpose and repair - diverting waste from landfill and using Victoria’s Big Build as a catalyst for new markets.
Presenter line-up:
Revolve Group TDS 400 Drainage Solution
Manufactured from 100% recycled tyres, TDS 400 is a modular drainage system for rail, road and civil works.
SaveBOARD:
saveBOARD turns composite packaging waste and soft plastics into building
products. saveBOARD wall, ceiling and joinery panels offer a sustainable alternative to MDF and plywood, made from 99% shredded and compressed
composite packaging and soft plastic.
Paintback Greyscale Paint
Paintback has developed a 100% recycled paint using water-based paint collected via the Paintback scheme. It is suitable for external applications on a range of surfaces, including metal, timber and concrete.

ecologiQ Supplier Masterclass - product and material certification
Obviously there are some positive interventions there but in reality I've seen the Cornwall road expansion scheme and there's a lot more environmental damage than there is restoration. Effectively you are losing natural space everytime you construct a highway/new build housing estate, and it seems like the environemental mitigation is more greenwashing than anything else.
Why are you occupying the traditional owners land??? Yarra council we hate you so much!!!
Nice & great work.Proud Hessie
We use recycled plastic sleepers on a very small railway (7.25 inch gauge) in Perth. The first ones went in about 25 years ago and there is no sign of deterioration. They don't rot, termites don't eat them, the threads of screwed in rail fasteners don't rust and they have survived the occasional bushfire. They are a great success and effectively maintenance-free.
Thanks.
It is exciting to see innovative products and technology being taken seriously as we strive for sustainability. Well done ecologiQ for coordinating a successful showcase.
How often is the supplier map updated please? thanks
Hi there - is the lifespan of these HD pipes known please? thanks
Great work Aaron; delivering a much safer and more durable surface for riders, drivers and pedestrians. It's the only TIPES Level 3 certified product for Coloured Surface Treatment in Australia at present - no-one else has been able to prove a 5-year history of compliance to the satisfaction of Queensland's Department of Transport & Main Roads and the Australian Road Research Board. #roadsafety.
