DRI Rubber has already shown that recycled rubber can be used effectively in a range of applications, including agriculture, transportation, and mining. Through mechanical recycling, rubber waste can be shredded into small pieces and processed into new products. This recycling process is not only environmentally responsible but also economically viable.

By drawing on the knowledge and expertise of DRI Rubber, I am creating circular products made from recycled rubber matting that can be integrated into our daily environment and be recycled again in the same company. Raw-chunky cut-outs are used to create a serie of furniture pieces showcasing the material's unique properties like it’s dark colour, it’s strength and hardness, as well as it’s resistant to abrasion, friction, water and extreem temperatures which makes it a perfect material to use outside.

The outdoor set is meant to be industrial-looking, it shows the patterns of the matts as the objects are coming directly from the industry. The shapes are simple and geometric, with clean lines and sharp angles and the finishes are rough and unpolished, highlighting the imperfections of the recycled materials which is also adding to the rugged look and feel.
