The UK Insulation Gap

£

Prohibitive Costs

Traditional insulation upgrades have payback periods of 14-15 years. This capital barrier leaves 47% of UK homes under-insulated during a cost-of-living crisis.

♻

Waste Crisis

Over 55 million tyres are disposed of annually in the UK. This creates immense landfill pressure, pollution risks, and costly export procedures.

❄

Vulnerable Housing

Inefficient housing stock disproportionately affects low-income groups. Solutions must be scalable and affordable to address fuel poverty effectively.

Turning Liability into Utility

ReTyre transforms end-of-life tyres into high-performance insulation products.

  • Circular Process: Tyres are shredded, treated, and packed into fire-resistant geotextile bags active in thermal retention.
  • Economic Advantage: By eliminating tyre disposal fees, our raw material cost is near zero, allowing us to pass significant savings to contractors.
  • Performance: Designed for loft and cavity wall retrofit, offering comparable thermal resistance to traditional mineral wool.
