Axion International receives three purchase orders from Australia

Axion International has received three additional purchase orders from Australia in the past 30 days for a combined $130,000. The orders relate to Axion's Recycled Structural Composite railroad ties, referred to as sleepers in Australia. "These orders support the use of our innovative recycled plastic technology in locations around the world," stated Jim Kerstein, Axion's chief technology officer. "By utilizing our patented material, designed from 100 percent recycled plastic, we will be diverting another 150,000 pounds of plastic that would normally end up in landfills for these three orders alone. Supplementing Axion's first order to Australia in March, Axion's three additional purchase orders bring the total number of orders to the country to four. The composite sleepers of various sizes are to be used as a replacement for wooden sleepers in Western Australia.
