Meet Quazeem Tiamiyu, a student who turned discarded wood into insulation for beverage coolers
Quazeem Tiamiyu developed safe insulation from wood fiber for beverage coolers. This bio-based component offers an environmentally friendly alternative to toxic polyurethane foam. His innovation utilizes cellulose nanofibrils and wood flour as binders and stabilizers. The new foam demonstrates comparable thermal conductivity to conventional insulation materials. Researchers are working to enhance durability and explore new manufacturing possibilities.
