REPP - Rubber Environment Protection Profiles
(2023) In Diploma work IDEM05 20231Industrial Design
- Abstract
- The lack of circular economy is a global problem; cur-
rently, we use more resources than what is sustainable
for our planet. One material that is highly critical to take
action towards sustaining is the raw material of natural
rubber. By reusing the rubber that currently is used in ti-
res for other products, we can create a stronger circular
economy for the material and thus use less new resour-
ces.
REPP is a rubber profile that is part of a system with its main
task being to protect pedestrians, cyclists and road users
from damage that may occur, in the event of a collision. The
profiles are placed around traffic poles and are very suita-
ble in urban environments where a lot of people are pas-
sing by daily.... (More) - The lack of circular economy is a global problem; cur-

REPP is a rubber profile that is part of a system with its main

from damage that may occur, in the event of a collision. The
profiles are placed around traffic poles and are very suita-
ble in urban environments where a lot of people are pas-
sing by daily. Other urban zones and spaces can also benefit
from this protection, such as stair railings, playgrounds or
arm barriers.
REPP is available in two different softnesses according
to the area of use. The profiles are also available in a variety
of colors depending on the aesthetic appearance required
in each environment. Besides this the rubber material in
REPP is 100% recyclable and can be used over and over
again. (Less)
