Description

A small round injection moulded bin designed to collect waste chewing gum (rubber) which is then recycled, with the contents being processed into more bins and other products. Gum-Tec (R) is a material that was developed by Anna Bullus as the result of her university degree final year project and subsequent years of material development at the Polymers Department of London Metropolitan University, to address the problem of chewing gum waste.
