Recycled Materials from Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill



This project demonstrates how engineers came to aid the Gulf of Mexico coast community to improve the response efforts to the oil spill and to conserve resources.   Air-baffle components were molded from 100%-recycled material comprised of: 25% PP Gulf oil-boom absorbent (recycled previously from automotive waste), 25% used Milford Proving Ground test tires, and 25% polymer packaging aids from other General Motors’ facilities, plus 25% post-consumer PE bottles.
