Re-Poly RF47 Macro Synthetic Fibre

A smarter alternative to steel mesh for concrete reinforcement.

Re-Poly RF47 is an Australian-made macro synthetic fibre designed to replace conventional steel mesh in non-structural concrete applications.

Made from 100% locally recycled plastic, Re-Poly RF47 is added directly into the concrete mix to help control shrinkage cracking, improve durability and simplify the construction process.

It is ideal for footpaths, shared user paths, bikeways, pavements, carparks, traffic medians and other civil infrastructure projects where faster installation, safer handling and long-term performance matter.

By removing the need for steel mesh placement, Re-Poly RF47 helps contractors reduce labour on site, minimise manual handling risks and deliver a cleaner, more efficient concrete pour.

Australian made. 100% recycled. Built for real infrastructure work.

Who We Are

Danbar Plastics is an Australian manufacturer with a head office in Horsham, Victoria, and operations across multiple locations throughout Australia.

Established in 1987, Danbar has built its reputation on practical problem-solving, reliable manufacturing and the development of products made for real-world use.

With a national operating footprint, Danbar works with councils, civil contractors, engineers, concrete suppliers, infrastructure teams and commercial project partners across Australia.

Our experience spans recycled plastic manufacturing, concrete reinforcement fibres, civil infrastructure products, custom manufacturing and product development. From early-stage ideas through to finished products, we work closely with clients to create solutions that are practical, durable and ready for site conditions.

For more than 30 years, Danbar has manufactured products using recycled plastic. Long before recycled materials became an industry expectation, Danbar was already working with recycled plastic to create useful, high-performing products for Australian industries.

That experience has led to the development of Re-Poly RF47, a 100% recycled macro synthetic fibre designed as an alternative to conventional steel mesh in non-structural concrete applications.

Re-Poly RF47 is used in footpaths, shared user paths, bikeways, pavements, carparks, traffic medians, precast elements and other civil infrastructure projects where crack control, durability, safer handling and faster installation matter.

Danbar is also proud to have partnered with McCallum Industries for more than 15 years, helping create over 120,000 hours of supported employment through the packing of Danbar-manufactured products.

What makes Danbar different is our combination of Australian manufacturing experience, recycled plastic knowledge, fibre technology, practical product support and a solution-focused approach.

We do more than manufacture plastic products. We help clients solve project challenges with smarter, more sustainable and more efficient solutions.

Our team can support clients with product selection, application guidance, specification support, dosage advice and project-based recommendations.

Danbar continues to develop Australian-made products that support better outcomes for infrastructure, construction and commercial projects across Australia.

What We Do - Re-Poly by Danbar Plastics Fibre Division

What We Do

Danbar provides sustainable plastic manufacturing, recycled material solutions and macro synthetic fibre reinforced concrete support for construction, civil infrastructure, mining and commercial concrete projects across Australia.

Established in 1987, Danbar brings almost 40 years of experience in plastic manufacturing, recycled materials and fibre technology.

Through our Fibre division, Danbar also brings more than 80 years of combined concrete construction experience to the development and application of macro synthetic fibre reinforced concrete, also known as MSFRC.

This combination of manufacturing knowledge, recycled plastic expertise and concrete construction experience allows Danbar to develop practical solutions for industries that need stronger, safer and more sustainable materials.

A key part of this work has been the development of Re-Poly RF47, a world-first 100% recycled macro synthetic fibre designed to reinforce concrete and provide a practical alternative to traditional steel mesh.

The impact of Re-Poly RF47 was recognised when Danbar Plastics Fibre Division was named a SIM•PAC Sustainability Awards 2025 Winner for Resource Recovery, celebrating the project’s contribution to sustainable construction, circular innovation and resource recovery.

Re-Poly RF47 supports stronger project outcomes by helping improve crack control, reduce labour on site, support safer handling and contribute to more sustainable infrastructure.

Danbar understands that Australian industry has an important role to play in building better, more sustainable infrastructure. That is why we continue to focus on recycled materials, practical innovation and Australian-made products that perform on site.

From sustainable plastic manufacturing through to macro synthetic fibre reinforcement, Danbar provides practical product solutions for clients looking to improve efficiency, reduce reliance on traditional reinforcement methods and support better long-term outcomes.
