EV Charging Station providers are increasingly switching to OmniGrip CST, a recycled-glass surface treatment that offers high levels of slip and skid resistance, and proven longevity for its texture and color.
The switch is driven by the providers’ desire to reduce waste, unnecessary maintenance, and premature wear and tear of their existing surfaces that quickly becomes microplastics. It’s also important for the providers to maintain the appearance of the EV Charging Bay, as customers value the environment and spend long periods in and around the bay. Besides the driver getting in and out of the vehicle to plug in the charging cable, their passengers are likely to also leave the vehicle, and risk slipping on worn coloured surfaces.
“We realised that there’s a corporate alignment between the EV Charging Station operators, ourselves as a provider of recycled materials, and the EV drivers. All have strong environmental beliefs and value safety highly,” said Justin Strunk, National General Manager for OmniGrip Direct.
“It doesn’t make ESG and commercial sense to continue replacing coloured surfaces inside of two years when there’s a proven long lasting Australian recycled surface treatment. When you look at this from a whole of life cost perspective, OmniGrip Direct are the cheapest on the market.”
OmniGrip CST is approved for use on roads, paths, and in buildings. Its compliance is demonstrated by its continuing use in the demanding environment of bike lanes and bus lanes, backed by independent testing to achieve TIPES Certification. It’s made from durable Australian recycled-glass.
