Advantages

Of Replacing Steel Mesh

We work with and supply to Construction, Engineering and Readymix companies

We work with and Supply to

Benefits at a glance

Up to 94% Carbon Footprint Reduction

Compared to steel mesh, using eMesh made from 100% recycled plastic reduces GHG emissions by up to 94%.

30-70% Costs Reduction

eMesh reduces cost of transport, storage, site equipment, engineer’s inspection and labour required for construction.

3x Faster, Safer and Easier Construction

With no steel required, there’s no need to handle, transport, lay, cut, tie, or weld mesh—making it faster, safer, and easier.

Australian-made Innovation

eMesh was developed through a full-cycle PhD research program, and the thesis received the prestigious Springer Award.

Third-party Audited LCA and EPD

eMesh fibres have undergone two LCA audits, and we are working on our third EPD with reduced emmissions.

Certified Product to Meet EEA Standards

eMesh has been audited and certified to meet safety, health, and environmental standards under EEA regulations.

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.

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:
