Australian industry leader in supplying high quality supplementary cementitious material (SCM)

Locally-sourced high performing, lower embodied carbon concrete pozzolan for both structural & infrastructure concrete as well as other industrial applications.

Made sustainably from 100% post-consumer recycled glass bottles.

key features & benefits

Utilising post-consumer waste glass not suitable for the bottle to bottle market destined for landfill to be used as a high grade washed and organic free Supplementary Cementations Material (SCM) for concrete building and infrastructure projects.

The first glass recycling plant in NSW to wash and completely remove sugars from glass to be successfully used in concrete.

Pozzitive GlassSCM is independently NATA tested.

Projects using our Pozzitive GlassSCM product as a replacement to Portland Cement are eligible to target up to 2 credit points in the Green Star – Design & As Built Life Cycle Impacts – Concrete credit

Extensive independent laboratory performance trials to ensure performance in concrete for a range of products.

Pozzitive GlassSCM supports a more durable, longer-lasting and higher-performing concrete that significantly improves its resistance to chloride penetration, sulfate attack, efflorescence.

Pozzitive GlassSCM is free of crystalline silica, a carcinogen, and toxic heavy metals, making it a safer and more environmentally friendly replacement for use as a concrete admixture, industrial filler and abrasive media.

Pozzitive GlassSCM can replace up to 50% of cement in concrete, reducing embodied CO2 emissions.

collect, remove & crush

Glass bottles are collected from hospitality venues throughout Sydney.

separate

We remove labels, lids, straws & other contaminants.

wash, dry & sort

Organics including all sugars are removed in our advanced cleaning process.

produce & supply

We process & package our glass to various sizes to suit our customers requirements.

safety

All Pozzitive Future products are completely safe to use. We only process amorphous silica, making it chemically inert and containing no harmful crystalline silica.

Pozzitive Future applications are all high performing granulated & powered glass pozzolan products.

green star credit points

Green Star credits are available by using GlassSCM.

local

Our products are all made from locally sourced and supplied post consumer glass bottles.

conservation of water

It normally requires less water and admixtures and has improved pump & workability.

perfectly shaped

The angular shape of the particle means less compact packing as there are gaps as well as giving the substance anti-slip & abrasive properties.

divert glass from landfill

Both our Glass Sand and GlassSCM saves landfill space as currently over 40% of glass isn’t being recycled in NSW.

exact size for the application

Particles are divided into different particle sizes depending on it’s application.

stronger more resilient concrete

Concrete made with our GlassSCM is stronger, denser, and more withstanding in acidic environments, with lower absorbency.

consistency

You can be assured of the products properties & behaviour unlike the unprocessed, mined alternatives.

reduces virgin material extraction

Replacing virgin mined sand with engineered glass sand helps conserve the environment, saving raw materials from being sand mined or quarried unnecessarily.

don’t pay for water & impurities

Our product is clean and dry so no added costs for paying for water weight & the often found silt and clay in the mined alternative.

glassSCM & sand saves CO2

GlassSCM saves CO2 from entering the atmosphere, in fact, 1 tonne of CO2 is saved by substituting 1 tonne of Portland cement for GlassSCM.
