Germany’s end-of-life tire (ELT) circular economy is functioning, but urgently requires political support. This is demonstrated by the latest figures presented today in Frankfurt am Main by the German Rubber Manufacturers Association (wdk). According to the association, ELT collectors and recyclers continue to face declining volumes in the domestic market.

The Tire Recycling Foundation (TRF), in collaboration with the U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association (USTMA), invites you to the second webinar in our End-of-Life Tire Series: How Rubber-Modified Asphalt Delivers Cost-Savings and Longer Lasting Sustainable Roads and Pavements. Discover the path toward sustainable and high-performing roads with rubber-modified asphalt (RMA), a cutting-edge technology that transforms end-of-life tires into valuable infrastructure solutions. This webinar explores RMA’s current applications, performance data, and collaborative opportunities to accelerate adoption across the United States.

Pyrum Innovations AG announced that its partner, Thermo Lysi SA, has received funding approval from the European Innovation Fund (EIF), securing €29.4 million for their joint tire recycling project in Greece. The facility, which will process around 45,000 tonnes of end-of-life tires annually, is set to become one of Europe’s largest and most advanced pyrolysis plants. Built on Pyrum’s patented thermolysis technology, the project represents a total investment of approximately €100 million, with Pyrum planning to acquire at least a 10% equity stake in the project company.

The Australian House of Representatives Standing Committee on Industry, Innovation and Science has launched an inquiry into the current state of the country's tire industry, focusing on challenges and opportunities within a circular economy framework. The investigation was initiated by Minister Rob Mitchell and follows the recent Round Trip Summit held in Melbourne.

Fornnax, a pioneering force in tyre recycling machinery, has been awarded the Excellence in Top Domestic Sales Award 2024-25 by the All India Rubber Industries Association (AIRIA). The recognition, under the Rubber Machineries and Equipment category, celebrates Fornnax’s remarkable sales performance, industry leadership, and dedication to sustainable innovation.

Tire pyrolysis oil (TPO) has landed at the intersection of two big policy drives: circularity for end-of-life tires (ELTs) and the EU’s push to scale recycled carbon fuels under RED III. Chemistry is attractive — a liquid fuel from a widespread waste stream — but the arithmetic is brutal. Combustion emissions alone push TPO very close to conventional diesel on a life-cycle basis, meaning TPO alone cannot meet RED III’s 70% GHG reduction requirement without using credits tied to the tires’ alternative fate. Properly applied e_ex-use (diversion) credits are therefore decisive: they can turn TPO from a near-miss into a qualifying recycled carbon fuel — but only if the baseline is robustly documented and upstream emissions are tightly controlled.

NE-TECH Group, a leading innovator in sustainable tire recycling technologies, proudly announces the completion of the pyrolysis section of its showcase facility designed in partnership with oil giant MOL as a main shareholder in the Karcag plant. This paves the way for the last phase of the project, the rCB finishing line, to be completed in collaboration with Hosokawa. The turnkey project is designed to process 10,000 tons of end-of-life tires (ELT) annually in Phase I and is on track for completion and start-up in January 2026.
