    Case Studies
  •   Rubberform, LLC: Inorder to start Rubberform, Founder   Bill Robbins conducted extensive research including   competition analysis, product analysis, research into the   manufacturing process, identifying sources of funding
  •   Concrete Innovations Services: Noise Barrier walls   reduce noise levels for people living next to highways, either   by absorbing sound energy or by reflecting sound energy.   Both methods work, however, sound absorption is more   effiecient and less likely to produce unexpected results.   Whisper Walls unique composite barrier, incorporating   recycled tire rubber, is recognized as one of the most   durable sound-absorbing noise walls manufactured.
  •   The Staroba Group: Buffalo Polymer Processors, Inc.   (BPPI), which was incorporated in 1989 as part of the   Staroba Group, compounds a proprietary thermoplastic   material called "Starloy", which is formulated from   vulcanized rubber scrap and plastic scrap.
