During July, Rubber Conversion’s Life Green Vulcan project was selected by the Italian Ministry of the Environment and Energy at the top of its LIFE Programme for the Environment and Climate Action. Life Green Vulcan demonstrated the use of recycled rubber for high-profile automotive applications. Specifically, Stellantis has industrialized spring pads containing 20 per cent recycled rubber, while Bridgestone has industrialized a car tyre tread containing 10 per cent recycled rubber by weight.
