Kingborough, TAS became first Tasmanian council to incorporate recycled consumer waste into roads
The Toner Pave material used on 500 meters of Charlton Street replaced bitumen with processed toner and printer cartridges. Kingborough officials estimated 12,500 cartridges were shredded and refined for the project. An additive made from 530,000 plastic bags spared single-use containers from the landfill. The Charlton Street project also used recycled asphalt from other projects in Tasmania to reduce emissions and material costs.
