Evonik aiming for 20% recycled rubber in new tyres

,

At present, trade associations in the tyre recycling sector generally recommend that no more than around five per cent ground rubber from end-of-life tyres goes into the production of new tyres. But Evonik is confident of quadrupling this ratio. A team of researchers have been working to counter the restrictions imposed by the chemical structure of recycled rubber, and the company reports having achieved a “key step forward with a process that could make it possible to use up to four times as much recycled rubber in new tyres as in the past.”

New Zealand debuts waste tyre scheme

As of this month, New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme is fully operational. The free collection of end-of-life tyres commenced on 1 September, half a year after the country added a tyre stewardship fee to the cost of every newly imported tyre, replacing the ad-hoc disposal fees that many tyre retailers used to charge. Penny Simmonds, New Zealand’s Environment Minister, considers the introduction of the Tyrewise scheme a “significant step toward addressing a long-standing issue.”

GB Tyres rolling out scrap tyre collection service

,

GB Tyres is introducing a nationwide tyre waste disposal service, providing customers with an alternative to the challenge of disposing of end-of-life tyres themselves or through third parties. By doing so, the tyre distributor is ensuring that waste tyres don’t accumulate in landfills, junkyards, or end up sitting in retailers’ yards, releasing harmful chemicals into the air, ground, and water.

Government can address tyre recycling stagnation, says Australia’s TSA

During a parliamentary inquiry into government agency procurement practices, Tyre Stewardship Australia (TSA) emphasised that procurement policy and a robust approach to product stewardship are “the keys” to creating hundreds of local jobs in the waste tyre sector. Australia currently generates half a million tonnes of waste tyres, equivalent to 62.5 million passenger car tyres, every year.
