Student develops eco-friendly wood-based insulation to replace toxic foam in coolers

Student Quazeem Tiamiyu has created a bio-based insulation material derived from wood fiber, designed for use in beverage coolers. The innovation serves as a sustainable alternative to polyurethane foam, which poses environmental and health concerns. Tiamiyu's formula uses cellulose nanofibrils and wood flour as key binding and stabilizing agents. Testing shows the wood-based foam performs at thermal conductivity levels comparable to traditional insulation. Researchers are now focused on improving the material's durability and investigating broader manufacturing applications.
