Mine Pitwater Utilisation Project
A collaborative project with Cammel Consulting & Soil Cyclers, in partnership with METS Ignited and Idemitsu in a world first, mining rehabilitation project. Rapid revegetation was establishment using ameliorated coal mine overburden as the growing media with a variety of salt tolerant pasture species seeded within it and irrigated with the mine’s salty pit water. The trial also explored floating wetlands as a bioremediation pathway to remove salt from the pitwater and showed promising results. The team is looking for partners to expand on this project for large scale adoptions of the technology developed.

Compostable Ground Stakes
Innovate Enviro is excited to be partnering with Viva Green in helping pursue market development into Australia and New Zealand with their fully biodegradable ground stakes. Unlike many biodegradable products, these stakes are fully compostable which means they leave no micro plastics. They are sturdy, fit for purpose and left in situ, eventually convert to only CO2 and water.
