A new player in the tire recycling market, the company Retyre, offers a fresh approach to material recovery. According to the article by Tyre and Rubber Recycling magazine, while water jetting technology is not a novelty, Retyre's process stands out for its compact, efficient, and portable design, fitting into a 20ft container.

Although the intricate details of the technology are not fully disclosed, a preview of the pre-production unit by Tyre and Rubber Recycling substantiates Retyre's claims. The output, known as ActivR™, comprises activated rubber and clean steel, with textile removal in the classifier process.

Retyre's Managing Director, Ken Jones, reports significant interest from top tire manufacturers, expressing satisfaction with the final product. In just a few weeks of unveiling the technology to key industry players, potential orders from independent regional recyclers have emerged, and tire manufacturers are exploring how Retyre's innovative business model aligns with their plans.

Retyre's distinctive model diverges from the norm, aiming to retain ownership of the technology and establish installations with licensing agreements. Instead of outright equipment purchase, recyclers buy an installation license, with Retyre managing end product sales through agreements with tire manufacturers.

Company Chairman Shravan Bansal emphasized the global accessibility of the technology, rejecting outright purchase offers to ensure widespread benefits in tire recycling. With low operating costs and the capacity for local production, Retyre envisions changing the tire recycling market, allowing generous returns for those handling tires and potentially revolutionizing tire recycling in OECD markets.
