Michelin joins Antin, Enviro announcing first end-of-life tyre recycling plant in Sweden

Michelin has finalised its shared investment plan alongside joint venture partners Enviro and Antin for the construction of a first end-of-life tyre recycling plant in Uddevalla, Sweden. The project, which broke ground in February, is based on Enviro’s pyrolysis technology. It has secured a series of multi-year contracts for the supply of used tyres and the upcycling of recovered carbon black and pyrolysis oil. The first plant has targeted a capacity to recycle approximately 35,000 tons of used tyres annually and to create up to 40 green jobs in the local community in its first phase.
