Project types where eMesh can replace steel mesh
eMesh was developed over a decade ago through a comprehensive university-led research program focused on creating a sustainable alternative to steel mesh in concrete. Since then, it has been rigorously tested, trialled, and approved for use across a wide range of applications. Enviromesh fibres have now been used in over 1,000 projects, with more than 300 of these utilising 100% recycled eMesh to reinforce concrete sustainably.

While eMesh continues to replace steel mesh in conventional applications, we’re also collaborating with forward-thinking organisations exploring its use in emerging technologies and construction methods—such as supplementary cementitious materials (SCM), 3D printing, carbon-cured concrete, lightweight prefabricated panels, and slipform paving. These innovations are helping shape a more sustainable, cost-effective, faster, and safer future for construction.
eMesh has been used to sustainably replace steel mesh in concrete in over 300 projects, many of which have received prestigious sustainability awards for their innovation and environmental impact. To view a list of some recent well-known projects, click here.

Impact of replacing steel mesh
Replacing steel mesh with eMesh macro synthetic fibres significantly reduces the environmental footprint of concrete reinforcement. For typical slab-on-grade applications, only 3-6 kg of eMesh is required per cubic metre of concrete – compared to 40-180 kg of steel, depending on the application. A standard SL72 steel mesh sheet (5.8 m x 2.4 m) weighs 40 kg, often covering just a small section of a slab, whereas eMesh is mixed directly into the concrete, eliminating the need for steel altogether. Across 300+ projects, eMesh has helped reduce embodied carbon by up to 94% in the reinforcement component – delivering measurable sustainability gains without compromising performance.
To put this benefit into perspective, over 1,000 tonnes of upcycled recycled polypropylene plastic have been used. That translates to:
+
Tonnes of Emissions Reduced
+
Tonnes of Steel Mesh Replaced
+
Cubic Metres of Water Saved
+
Tonnes of Fossil Fuels Saved
