Green360 Technologies initiates commercial-scale metakaolin production from Pittong site
Product to be tested by key public and private stakeholders for low-carbon construction use
Reclaimed tailings support company’s circular economy approach
Green360 Technologies Limited (ASX:GT3), listed on the ASX 300, has progressed a pivotal milestone by starting large-scale production of high-reactivity metakaolin from its Pittong Operation in Victoria. This development aligns with the company’s broader strategy to support low-emission materials in infrastructure and construction sectors.
The calcined material will serve as a substitute for traditional Portland cement and is now ready for dispatch to various industry and government bodies for evaluation and trial use in building projects.
Transition to Commercial Quantities from Lab-Scale Testing
Following a period of laboratory testing, Green360 has now moved into commercial production of its metakaolin, a material praised for its role in reducing cement-related emissions. The calcining run utilised a combination of high-grade ore and reclaimed tailings, exemplifying Green360’s focus on environmental responsibility and circular production methods.
The company stated that the product's composition, based on collaborative research with Murdoch University, exceeds industry norms in terms of amorphous content. This quality opens the door to broader construction applications, including its use in place of silica fume in high-performance concrete mixes.
Government and Industry Trials Underway
The metakaolin batches will now undergo a phase of performance testing through state and federal departments as well as select private partners. Evaluations will focus on factors such as compressive strength, workability, resistance to chemical reactions, and durability under various environmental stress conditions.
Green360 aims to validate the product's compatibility with infrastructure applications, with plans to expand its presence in public and private sector projects once testing concludes.
Circular Model Supports Cost-Efficient Supply Chain
The use of reclaimed tailings provides an economic advantage for Green360, while also reinforcing the sustainability credentials of its operations. By converting former waste into high-value construction inputs, the company furthers its alignment with circular economy principles, which are increasingly valued in industrial supply chains.
This approach positions Green360 to deliver low-emission materials at reduced costs, without sacrificing quality or performance standards.
Strategic Scaling and Future Deployment Plans
With its first commercial production run complete, Green360 is now focused on finalising offtake partnerships and identifying infrastructure projects suitable for deployment. The company has flagged upcoming announcements regarding supply agreements and confirmed trials in select developments.
