30 Years of Tyre Recycling: Innovations to build the Future is the title of the 30th Annual ETRA Conference on Tyre Recycling that will take place Tuesday through Thursday, 25-27 March 2025 at Le Louise Hotel in Brussels.
Thirty years is an important milestone which has been achieved thanks to a continuous innovation and to the efforts of many SMEs around Europe, supported by the EU Commission through research projects and environmental policies. Innovation will be the corner stone to build the future.
Along the years new materials were produced : rubber, steel fibres and textile fibres, that are used in many different products and applications, from roads and road furniture to sport surfaces, from building materials to infrastructure - and many others.-
Despite the above mentioned efforts the market did not grow as expected but grew randomly. Some markets have expanded significantly in recent years, e.g. the sport sector, which represent a success story for recycling. Others, like roads and public works, have not grown enough to represent a stable and reliable demand.
Tyre manufacturers at the beginning disregarded Recycled Tyre Materials owing to the fact recycled rubber being vulcanized is not suitable to be incorporated into new tyres compound. But owing to the fragility of the value chain of natural rubber, included by the EU among Critical Raw Materials (CRM), they recently took into consideration various output of Tyre Recycling sector, such as fine rubber powder, devulcanised rubber, recovered carbon black. Again, innovation is key word for the future expansion of this market.
This is where we are now after 30 years. And the future? We will try to discover together during three days Conference.
