Waste Tires Design AwardsThe purpose of this competition is to advance the concept of sustainable building and use of waste tires in building and landscape products.
The participants in the competition will develop prototypes of building or landscape products designed and crafted with tires, crumb rubber and/or other tire derived materials from California's waste stream.
The desired outcome of this competition is to assist in the development of markets and new technologies for California's waste tires.
For additional information on designing building products made with recycled content tires visit the California Integrated Waste Management Boards website.
