Consider one of the alternatives to leather or synthetic—the recycled/reclaimed rubber bag. Rubber bags look good in a hip, fashion-forward kind of way, and the rubber can be formed to almost any shape or size imaginable. I love that they have a biker appeal, but can be eclectically paired...
Today's product designers have a variety of prototyping processes available to them. Some still rely on traditional manufacturing methods, while others use sophisticated technologies that have been improved upon over the years. The objective is to quickly determine which process or technology is...
Over the past month EPDM regrind fell $120.00 USD/TON. Scrap Butyl Tubes decreased $20.00 USD/TON, Tire Derived Fuel (TDF) was $0.57 USD/MT higher and 10 mesh #4 Tire Granule was indicated unchanged .
The Tire and Rubber Recycling Composite Index advanced 0.82% in the past 30 days. The index...
