flag Australian scientists create concrete using recycled carpets, reducing cracks and boosting strength.

flag Australian researchers have developed a method to recycle scrap carpet fibers and textiles into concrete, reducing early-stage shrinkage cracking by up to 30% and increasing strength by up to 40%. flag This innovation aims to boost sustainability in construction and tackle the $8 billion cost of repairing cracks in concrete structures annually in Australia. flag The team from RMIT University is now working with industry partners for field trials.
