The research Bridgestone has conducted on the use of guayule-derived natural rubber in tyre production was recognised at the 2015 Edison Award Winners event on 23 April. The tyre maker went home with a 2015 Edison Gold Award for Innovation in Automotive Solutions.
A Melbourne-based tyre recycling specialist has become the first Australian company ever to be named an Edison Award finalist. Green Distillation Technologies, which has developed a destructive distillation process for transforming end of life tyres into carbon, oil and steel, is a contender for an award in the Energy & Sustainability category. The firm doesn’t have long to wait to discover if it has landed a gold, silver or bronze award – winners will be announced at an event in New York on 23 April.
