One of Central Australia’s most popular tourist spots, the Simpsons Gap Bike Path in West MacDonnell National Park now sports a new look – it’s made of recycled ink cartridges!
This 18 km bike path’s new 100 meter long path and replacement bridge should last longer and were more economical to build than a regular timber bridge.The Northern Territory Government spent $130,000 upgrading the bike path. Another terrific innovative way to recycle, don’t you think? But what do they do with all that toner?
`Here at Simpsons Gap repairs and upgrades to the Bike Path Bridge are now complete, leaving us a safer bridge for riders and a great natural aesthetic. In keeping with our government’s commitment to sustainable development, the bridge is made from recycled plastic decking or Replas, saving landfill, trees and ensuring a longer life with less maintenance.
