Highlights
Green360 progresses low-carbon cement using red mud and kaolin blend
Signs joint venture with PERMAcast for sustainable construction products
Boosts kaolin sales with growing demand and new clean energy customer in Japan
Green360 Technologies Limited (ASX:GT3), listed on the All Ordinaries index, continues to scale its low-carbon cement strategy while reporting improved performance from its kaolin operations during the June quarter of FY25. The company remains focused on delivering sustainable building materials and advancing its circular economy goals.
Progress on Red Mud-Kaolin Cement Development
Green360 marked a key milestone with the development of a red mud-kaolin blend designed to serve as a low-carbon cement alternative. Lab trials confirmed the blend met performance targets in compressive strength tests, with significantly reduced hazardous material leachability. Chromium levels were well below regulatory thresholds, and no uranium or thorium was detected, pointing to the product's environmental credentials.
This proprietary cement formulation aligns with Green360’s broader strategy of transforming industrial waste into sustainable building materials, supporting both environmental and commercial outcomes.
PERMAcast Partnership to Drive Low-Carbon Block Rollout
In a strategic move, Green360 entered a non-binding memorandum of understanding with Western Australian manufacturer PERMAcast. The focus of this collaboration is to commercialise precast retaining wall blocks that integrate Green360’s low-carbon cement blend.
As part of the agreement, PERMAcast will fund and install essential production equipment. Both companies will operate under a joint venture model with exclusive acquisition rights, positioning them to meet infrastructure sector demand in Western Australia.
Commissioning of the block-laying equipment is scheduled for the first half of calendar year 2026, with initial revenue from product rollout expected in the same year.
Metakaolin Advancements Reinforce Product Pipeline
Green360 has also accelerated its metakaolin product development. High-reactivity metakaolin was successfully produced from Pittong kaolin feedstock and validated through testing at Murdoch University. The results showed the product exceeded global supplementary cementitious material standards, placing it in the high-performance category.
The company has commenced field testing of concrete applications with PERMAcast, targeting real-world performance validation for use in structural concrete applications.
Revenue Growth from Pittong Kaolin Operation
Green360 reported a revenue increase from its Pittong kaolin facility, driven by expanded sales and margin improvements. This performance was underpinned by enhanced market engagement and operational efficiencies. The company also executed a bulk calcining run to produce metakaolin, partly using tailings as feedstock, further supporting its sustainability goals.
Entry into Japanese Clean Energy Market
The company’s kaolin products have found application in Japan’s waste-to-energy sector. A new supply contract was secured with a Japanese client that selected Pittong kaolin for its compatibility with incineration processes. The initial supply has expanded across multiple incinerators, with ongoing trials at larger units, indicating growing interest in Green360’s product offering in clean energy applications.
