Dumped tyres will be used to strengthen concrete? Billions of tyres dumped each year. Scientists were successful to change tyres into useful graphene. Production of concrete increases 10% of CO2 on global basis. To overcome this issue dumped tyres will be used. In concrete graphene will be used to strengthen buildings. Scientists used a Flash process which convert rubber tyres into graphene. This process remove everything Only Carbon will be left behind. Researchers mixed small amount of graphene with Portland Cement and constructed concrete cylinders. The product strength was 30% more than normal concrete. In future concrete with graphene will be used to protect environment as well as low cost.
