In this episode of Video Insights, our series of short videos from the Autopromotec exhibition in Bologna, we are focusing on Rover Research, a technology company which has been amongst the most proactive in recent times thanks to its innovative water jetting technology. At the show, we caught up with Edoardo Fiore to explain the concept. Edoardo details how their water jet buffing technology can save up to 50% in energy and raw materials and produce a high-quality rubber powder, dubbed “Black Gold,” that can be reused in new tyres. He also discusses how this sustainable and profitable process is helping to close the circular economy loop for rubber.
