News on the Best Innovation in Tyre Recycling and Best Tyre Recycling Research Project categories, along with the final four unrevealed categories will be announced on Monday, February 10 (6 PM CET). The victors in these four categories will be determined by the Nominations Committee headed by David Wilson, while the Best Tyre Recycling Innovation category will be decided by the public vote. The Nominations Ceremony will be live

According to data released by the Ministry of Commerce, the import of waste or scrap tyres which was 2.64 lakh metric tonnes (MT) in FY21 has risen to 13.98 lakh MT in FY24. According to the Automotive Tyre Manufacturers Association (ATMA), this rise in unregulated imports is posing significant environmental and safety risks. Contrary to the aims of the EPR scheme, imports of waste tyres have increased annually. There is a clear lack of control.  &ldquo

The agreement with Warsaw, Poland-based Contec further enables Orion to diversify its sources of tyre pyrolysis oil, commonly known as TPO. “With the ConPyro® TPO supplied by Contec, Orion will be able to make large-scale volumes of circular grades of carbon black that will supply growing demand from the world’s leading tyre and rubber goods producers,” Orion CEO Corning Painter said. “This is yet ano

The Credit facility of $2 million, previously announced on November 25, 2024, is extended to the Company’s subsidiary, Ecolomondo Environmental (Hawkesbury) Inc., owner of the Hawkesbury plant, to assist mainly with the purchase, installation and commissioning of the new milling equipment. This new equipment, once commissioned, should enable the gradual ramp-up of all departments to full production. The conditions of the credit facility calls for a $500,000 cash inje

Among the personnel now starting to work from the site are Fredrik Alpner, Plant General Manager, along with about ten other key individuals. The construction of the joint venture’s first full-scale recycling plant based on Enviro’s technology has now been ongoing for almost a year. A first symbolic groundbreaking ceremony was held on February 13 last year, and since then, most of the exterior parts of the plant have been completed. The next phase involves the

A new bill would require all tyre shops to join a statewide recycling program. But on tyre retailers told lawmakers that they aren’t the problem – and they warned that the requirement could cost customers more. This is the same old argument that retailers are never the problem.  Regardless of where the stewardship membership lies, the consumer will pay. So saying that retailer membership of a scheme would cost the consumer, is a bit of a null argument. Connecticut&n

In Tyre and Rubber Recycling Podcast 71, Ewan Scott discusses the Australian scenario with the CEO of Tyre Stewardship Australia, Lina a Goodman. In this introductory video we discuss the challenges and opportunities that the industry faces in Australia, and the potential for a mandatory tyre stewardship scheme to address the current freeriders.

The project aims to convert these materials into eco Carbon Black (eCB™) with rubber reinforcement properties equivalent to those of virgin carbon black (vCB) that is derived from petroleum and coal. Through these efforts, the joint project members are focused on contributing to the realisation of a circular economy and carbon neutrality through the development of advanced recycling technologies. This project is a part of demonstrative initiative titled “Technology Developmen
