Prism Worldwide is thrilled to unveil its latest innovation with the launch of CIRX™ car mats, engineered with our cutting-edge Ancora™ TPE technology. These pioneering mats are crafted from Ancora C-1082, a high-performance material that incorporates 50% recycled content derived from end-of-life tires, utilizing Prism’s advanced process technology. The CIRX car mats stand as a testament to Prism’s commitment to sustainability and innovation. By integrating recycled tire material into our Ancora TPE formulation, we not only enhance the durability and functionality of our car mats but also demonstrate what is possible with the Ancora family of thermoplastic elastomers.

In Episode 67 the Tyre Recycling Podcast spoke with one of the founders, Enrico Koggel of the Circular Rubber Platform, the online knowledge and networking platform on rubber circularity. The Circular Rubber Platform is making a circular rubber economy easy and accessible, by knowledge sharing, networking and fostering collaboration within the whole rubber industry. It presents solutions for rubber circularity (renewable and recovered raw materials and technologies) online and during meet-ups, and actively connects engineers, companies and universities.

SSI Shredding Systems has supplied equipment to a cement producer in Senegal to shred end-of-life tires, transforming them into tire-derived fuel (TDF) for use in cement kilns. The U.S.-made system, which includes an M120 two-shaft shredder and a trommel screen, provides a cost-effective and space-efficient solution. The trommel screen ensures clean, sheared tire pieces suitable for incineration, helping reduce reliance on coal while lowering costs and carbon emissions.

Brehmer Mfg., Inc., a manufacturer specializing in fertilizer, hog, and tire recycling equipment, is celebrating its 50th anniversary with an Open House event on Friday, October 4, 2024.

Since its founding in 1974, Brehmer Mfg. has grown from four employees in a 1,500-square- foot, former olive factory to almost 60,000 square feet of manufacturing space and 45 full- time employees, building a variety of agricultural and tire-recycling equipment.

The Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM), Alabama State Parks, and the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) were awarded the Leadership in Conservation and Sustainability Award on Sept. 12, 2024, by the Rubberized Asphalt Foundation. The award recognizes their efforts to use recycled tires in paving projects at three state parks—Lake Guntersville, DeSoto, and Joe Wheeler—repurposing over 19,000 end-of-life tires.

Evonik wants to help make rubber materials from scrap tires easier to re-use in the manufacture of new automobile tires. So far, the suitability of recycled rubber has been very limited because its chemical structure hampers interaction with new tire materials. A team of researchers at Evonik has now made a key step forward with a process that could make it possible to use up to four times as much recycled rubber in new tires as in the past.

The 2nd Conclave organized by the Tyre and Rubber Recyclers Association of India (TRRAI) gathered policymakers and industry leaders to discuss challenges and opportunities following the implementation of the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) policy in India. Key topics included the need for compliance with EPR guidelines, technological advancements, and collaboration between recyclers and tyre producers.

Gravita India Limited has announced that its step-down subsidiary, Gravita Netherlands BV (GNBV), has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to acquire a waste tire recycling plant in Romania. This will mark Gravita's first recycling facility in Europe, with a capacity of approximately 17,000 MTPA. The company already operates 12 state-of-the-art recycling facilities across Asia and Africa, with a total capacity of over 300,000 MTPA in various recycling sectors.

CalRecycle is leading a transformative shift in California's Waste and Used Tire Program with the implementation of a new Electronic Mobile Manifesting System, developed in partnership with Diversys Software Inc. This transition from paper-based methods to digital e-manifests will streamline the tracking and management of over 50 million waste tires handled annually across the state.
