Anna Bullus Recycles Chewing Gum Into Rubber That Could Replace Plastic

Rubber Made From Recycled Chewing Gum Could Replace Plastic

Designer Anna Bullus read the statistics of the gum problem in London -- that the government spends £150 million annually to clean up gum, over 30,000 pieces of which end up stuck to Oxford street alone each day -- and she decided there must be a better way to deal with the problem. So, she headed to the laboratory and came up with a way to transform chewed gum into a useful rubber that can be made into anything from toys to boots.
