Laura Banasiak, a Senior Scientist at PHF Science spoke to Tyre & Rubber Recycling at The Round Trip: Tyre & Conveyor Belt Recycling Summit presented by Tyre Stewardship Australia and Tyrewise. She talked to us about a potentially game-changing application for tyre-derived materials: an eco-rubber isolation foundation system designed for earthquake-prone regions like New Zealand.
Tyre Derived Materials in Insulation Foundation Systems
Laura discusses the project, which is being researched in conjunction with the University of Canterbury, and how it could improve the resilience of residential housing. She also details the upcoming field tests for the system and explores the future commercialisation opportunities for the solution.
