Material guide

Use the interactive material guide to find out what materials are common, less common and innovative across a range of transport infrastructure applications and assets.

Our visual guides highlight opportunities to use recycled, reused, and low/zero carbon materials in transport infrastructure, including major roads, carparks, rail, structures, and landscaping. These guides support material choices and showcase common, less common and innovative applications.

While these materials are vital for sustainability, circular economy, and carbon zero pathways, other considerations also impact material and technology choices. See the material guide for more information.

The guides are reflective of what is currently permissible in specifications for illustrative purposes to create accessible interactive guides. They are not intended to replace adherence to agency specifications.
