One sustainability factor that many industry stakeholders can agree on is the importance of choosing the right materials. Recycled tyre rubber really stands out from the crowd in this regard. Given its resistance to temperature variations and UV light and good insulation and drainage properties, recycled tyre rubber is a first-rate construction material with good potential for contributing to sustainable spatial planning. This page showcases architecture that makes use of recycled tyre rubber in creating unique and fascinating buildings.​

The fashion industry has emerged as a prominent advocate for sustainable living, with clothing manufacturers increasingly producing garments from recycled materials. Over time, a growing array of raw materials are being recognized for their recyclable potential. Recycled tyre rubber, valued for its durability, resilience, and elasticity, has found particular application in shoes, bags, and accessories. This page highlights designers who have embraced recycled tyre rubber to create sustainable everyday fashion.

In response to the increasing emphasis on sustainable living, there is a noticeable shift towards decorating homes with sustainability in mind. Designers and creators are increasingly, aligning their services with consumers’ sustainability goals, while maintaining a focus on delivering high-quality products. ​ ​Amidst this shift, recycled tyre rubber is gaining prominence as a practical and sustainable design material. Beyond its widespread availability, which reduces the need for new rubber production, it is the durable, resilient, and elastic properties of tyre rubber that have sparked interest in its use. These properties present new design opportunities and are valuable for developing products suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. This chapter showcases creators from around the world who have, to varying degrees, incorporated recycled tyre rubber into their design of sustainable home products.

Originally, recycled tyre material served as a foundational element for society and its infrastructure. What is fascinating, however, is that once a tyre has completed its journey on the road, its exceptional inherent properties allow it to continue contributing to the development and construction of other areas within society. The products showcased in Rubber Hall include innovations such as rubber concrete, rubber asphalt, and traffic pole cladding.

In addition to the posts on Rubber Hall that highlight products that are partially or entirely made from recycled tyre rubber, we also focus on another aspect of attention. In this section, we draw attention to highlighting the material rubber in general and areas of application where other types of rubber, not specically tyre rubber, have been used to create fascinating creations.

It's a wide range spanning from shoes and chairs to house facades and art. Explore this page to discover a variety of articles and features showcasing creators who have crafted designs using both recycled tyre rubber but also other types of rubber in their design. It's a wide range spanning from shoes and chairs to house facades and art.
