Melbourne weather: 40 degrees one day, a torrential downpour the next. Thankfully, this permeable pavement made from end-of-life tyres is as adaptable as our four-seasons-in-a-day climate! By transforming used tyres into permeable pavement, Porous Lane is managing stormwater, reducing urban heat islands, and giving recycled tyres a second life. It’s a brilliant example of how innovation can keep valuable materials out of landfill while helping our city to withstand the challenges of a changing climate. Proof that even tyres can bounce back.
From 40 degrees 🥵 the last two days to 16 and pouring rain 🌧️ today in Melbourne. Porous Lane is driven to contribute to climate resilient cities with our permeable pavement made out of local waste tyres. ♻️ 🅿️ The carpark in the video (filmed this morning) was installed with our permeable pavement two years ago. As you can see, the pavement allows water to seep through, significantly reducing surface runoff and the risk of flash flooding. 🌧️💧 Permeable pavement not only helps manage stormwater effectively but also contributes to recharging groundwater levels while supporting urban trees 🌳. It's a sustainable solution that can make a big difference in urban areas prone to flooding. ☀️🔥 On hot days like yesterday, this permeable pavement it's reducing heat islands🥵. Want to know more?
