crcCARE is a partnership of organisations dedicated to developing new ways of dealing with and preventing contamination of soil, water and air including solid and liquid waste management.

We focus Australia’s foremost expertise and resources on this issue and to develop close links with research partners at the cutting edge in this field around the world.

crcCARE plays a unique and influential role in Australia’s contaminated site sector. As a globally recognised research leader, we bring together diverse – and at times opposed – stakeholders to vastly improve the national approach to the myriad challenges of environmental contamination.

Solution highlight: matCARE

Soil and water – made safe for re-use

Each site is assessed and a site-specific remediation plan implemented for optimal results.  Water is returned safe for re-use and soil is restored into productive real estate. 

On-site assessment and remediation service

crcCARE scientists arrive with a mobile assessment and remediation facility and take care of contamination issues right there and then.

The clay sorbent used in matCARE has the capacity to successfully immobilise 50% more PFOS and PFOA than traditional technologies, with field trials proving that it is more effective than activated carbon and biochar.

Research Highlight: Understanding Emerging Chemicals

This program is addressing the significant gaps in our knowledge of the potential risks posed by the rapidly increasing number of emerging contaminants and their mixtures.
