Meredith Miller and Thom Moran, faculty members in U-M's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, speak about Post Rock, their patented technology for creating a cladding material from waste plastics.

Post Rock is pioneering a new future for building materials — one where plastic waste becomes an asset rather than a liability. Through a novel fabrication process, mixed plastic waste and mineral aggregates are transformed into durable facade panels with the visual appeal of stone and a dramatically lower carbon footprint.

Material Conversations are monthly informal discussions to learn about materials research at the University of Michigan.
