The Tyre Collective's devices captures tyre wear at the wheel and they are now working towards applications to upcyle it in a circular system. They are made up of our MA/MSc Innovation Design Engineering graduates, Siobhan Anderson, Hanson Cheng, and Hugo Richardson.
On winning the Terra Carta Design Lab, they said: 'We are very honoured to win the Terra Carta Design Lab and are excited to get started! It’s not enough to capture pollution, there needs to be a method to manage this waste. Terra Carta allows us to explore the potential applications of captured tyre wear.'
Launched in 2021 by HRH the Prince of Wales and Sir Jony as part of the Sustainable Markets Initiative, and in partnership with the RCA. The Terra Carta Design Lab challenged our students and recent alumni to develop credible and sustainable solutions to our environmental crisis.
