NAME CHANGE and WHY – Shredded Tire Inc. evolves to Miami Echo

What we learned through years of testing and government approvals using tire shreds as our aggregate, should be applied to construction wood waste and other select, solid waste. We’re already at the lab doing that very thing, but this time with a roadmap!

Welcome to Miami Echo.  Miami is in the name as without Miami’s Building Code, abundant local testing facilities as well as engineering professionals that know the testing protocols, our Echo family of 93% recycled content products would never have been possible.

As we expand throughout the world, the Miami Echo name will remain a constant in honor to this beautiful City, the place where it all began.

Next-Use Village Living | coming soon

Planethealer.com (under construction)

As a preview of things to come, we introduce Planet Healer, the sister company of Miami Echo.

Planet Healer is to be a developer of 500 and 1,000 Echo Home, sustainable villages.

Gallia Villages by Planet Healer will be located around the world, will be built with recycled building materials and powered by sustainable energy sources.

Planet Healer will also build (not for profit) villages, funded by donors who pledge directly to a specific village that we will plan, advertise and promote.

Scroll through the gallery photos for a sneak peek at the village design and the concept homes we are considering.
