DriveCon®
DriveCon® PlastiRok® is our unique environmentally sustainable permeable concrete paving system which substitutes a percentage of mined aggregate with recycled OR post-consumer “single use” soft plastics to form a strong trafficable rigid pavement that absorbs stormwater.
WaterPave’s patented permeable concrete product DriveCon® has now been engineered to include the use of recycled post consumer “single use” soft plastic, producing Australia’s first environmentally friendly permeable concrete paving system. Like our conventional DriveCon® system, PlastiRok® has been engineered to carry pedestrian and vehicle loads, while absorbing rain water which reduces the effects of flooding and recharges the soil below, satisfy local council permeability requirements.
Combining state of the art Australian plastic recycling technology and our patented admixtures WaterPave can now use 95% post-consumer soft plastics that are recovered from a major recycle program here in Australia. All recycled plastic used in our DriveCon® PlastiRok® product comes from Australia’s on waste. No international waste products are used.
The innovative technology turns post consumer soft plastic into what looks like mined aggregate and behaves very similar to mined aggregate once combined with cement. This enables WaterPave to replace a percentage of mined aggregate with PlastiRok® without compromising the strength, water absorbing rates and its long term performance.
Our standard pedestrian grade DriveCon® PlastiRok® permeable concrete product contains 37,500 pieces of recycled, post-consumer, “single use” soft plastics per cubic meter.
WaterPave Australia National target is to install 10,000 cubic meters of our DriveCon® PlastiRok® product by 30th December 2024. This ambitious target will remove 375,000,000 pieces of post consumer “single use” soft plastics from entering land fill.
A DriveCon® PlastiRok® footpath measuring 1.0klm long x 1.2mtr wide @ 100mm thick contains over 44 million (44,000,000) pieces of recycled “single use” soft plastic packaging from entering Australian landfill.
