A team of engineers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) University in Australia have managed to replace 100% of the traditionally used aggregates in concrete with rubber from end-of-life tires, while still continuing to meet building regulations.

By replacing gravel and crushed rocks, the team members believe the more sustainable and lighter concrete will enable a reduction in manufacturing and transportation costs, in addition to contributing to a circular economy.
