Story
A world-first project to upcycle plastic to strengthen marine grade concrete tiles that were placed along Sydney Harbour’s seawalls. The tiles mimic the root structure of native mangrove trees to create a habitat for organisms that filter pollutants from the ocean – effectively cleaning the water.
This is a purposeful piece of design that transforms a harmful, yet necessary, manmade structure into a marine habitat with 78 species and 73% more than the control tiles.
