Transport NSW and the Roads and Transport Directorate will trial a new Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology that tracks and prioritises road repairs, and could even identify potholes before they form.The $2.9 million ‘Asset AI™’ trial has seen 32 sensors installed on public transport buses, and when combined with local weather observations, the technology could be used to calculate and predict the rate of deterioration in roads, and streamline asset maintenance.

The Uber of Waste goes National

A 2023 start-up aiming to make recycling convenient and accessible to all is about to go national. The aim is to provide people with a home pick-up option for some of the "trickier" items the normal recycling bins can't handle - including soft plastics. https://wastemanagementreview.com.au/recyclesmart-goes-national/

Magnetic Attraction: Microplastics

A Kyushu University study (2021) estimated there were 24.4 trillion pieces of microplastics in the world's upper oceans or roughly 30 billion 500-ml plastic water bottles. Microplastics are tiny, toxic and very hard to remove from the environment. But researchers in the US have discovered that some Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) can attract and bind microplastics, making it easier to remove them from the environment. And the N in NADES is key - natural - in this instance, think extracts from plants. https://www.research.uky.edu/news/researchers-develop-eco-friendly-magnet-battle-microplastics
