OVERVIEWRUCONBAR is highly absorbing environmentally

friendly concrete noise barrier. Its absorbing layer

is produced out of recycled waste tyres along with

concrete. The technology of producing lightweight

concrete by incorporation of recycled rubber granu-

late presents innovative technology for production of

high absorbing noise barriers and as such is unique

on the market. RUCONBAR concept represents an

economical, simple to implement, ecologically sound

solution for noise protection.

The concept provides benefits in two directions

which are:

• noise protection of urban areas by utilisation of

recycled materials and

• environmental protection by preventing disposal

of recyclable materials on landfills and reducing

CO2 emissions.
