High-tech Use for Old Tyres

The company that brought us the Solio solar power iPod Charger has now turner its hands to tyres. Tread is a new line of digital accessories cases that are handcrafted handcrafted from discarded Columbian truck tyres and redesigned into fashionable rubber iPod and Solio cases. There is also a sleeve available for a Powerbook G4 or MacBook Pro. No-one knows why the company chose to source their tyres from Colombia, but the technology is citing the case’s water-stopping capabilities and overall durability as a strong selling points.
