Default Rubber made from waste opens the door to sustainable production.

You may not have read about this in your local newspapers. Looks promising.

“It is exciting to see how the underlying chemistry of these materials has such wide potential in recycling, next-generation adhesives, and additive manufacturing.”

“This rubber has some of the very same material properties but has the ability to reprocess because in the backbone we have these dynamic chemical bonds that can break and reform with the right stimulus or the right catalyst that we add to the surface”.

The new material is also able to be easily repaired, offering a sustainable solution to rubber manufacturing, which has traditionally been resource intensive and resulted in huge amounts of landfill at end of life.
