Josef Ellingsen's Company Details
Roadguard is on a mission to eliminate road fatalities caused by worn out tires and to decrease micro plastics pollution.In 2016 the EU registerred 25,699 road fatalities. 11 percent of the accidents are estimated to be caused by faulty or worn out tires. This tire related problem is estimated to carry an annual cost of EUR 22 Billion on top of a tremendous human suffering.At the same time as much as 28 percent of microplastics in the ocean comes from tires shedding synthetic rubber as they wear down. Before ending up in the ocean the rubber contributes to the melting of glaciers and soil pollution. Some microplastics get ingested and incorporated in the bodies and tissues of living organisms.
