AZuR reports that the practice of retreading tires in Europe is encountering a new challenge. An increasing influx of tires imported from the Far East is increasingly displacing them. Over the span of ten years, the market share for retreaded truck tires has decreased from 34.2% in 2012 to 20.1% in 2022, as per ETRMA data. This shift holds significant implications for both the environment and the climate. Retreaded tires in Europe offer the same quality, safety and durability as comparable new tires, as well as clear environmental benefits. The retreading here in Europe not only reduces long transport distances, but also reduces CO2 emissions in production by over 60% and energy consumption by about 50%.

Marangoni S.p.A. – a player in the tire retreading sector on a global scale – is enhancing the retreading capabilities of Volánbusz Hungary through the introduction of the latest RINGER 2000 machine. This innovation promises increased efficiency and reliability for Volánbusz Hungary's retreading operations. Having maintained a longstanding partnership with Marangoni, Volánbusz Hungary has effectively managed their retreading facility located in Győr, positioned between Budapest and Vienna. In the 90s, the plant was equipped with a Multifunctional machine, later upgraded to the Ringtreader 1000 model.

According to Bnamericas platform, Chile recently enacted the extended producer responsibility (EPR) law, which compels the mining industry to take responsibility for recycling 25% of their end-of-life tires (ELTs) and storing at least 50% of them, either directly or through a third party. This regulation applies to producers, importers, sellers, and waste managers, as ELTs from mining trucks pose a significant environmental concern. Unlike car tires that weigh around 9kg each, conventional truck tires weigh approximately 38kg, and mining truck tires can be as heavy as 4,000kg.
