On October 18, 2022 Robert Weibold, a tire recycling and pyrolysis consultant from Vienna, Austria, speaks at BIR 2022 World Recycling Convention in Dubai. If you would like to connect with Robert Weibold and Weibold team, discuss business opportunities or request information on consulting services, please send your inquiry at sales@weibold.com. BIR 2022 World Recycling Convention is a three-day gathering of internationally recognized experts in recycling and sustainability, held on October 16-18 in Dubai, UAE. BIR's Tyre and Rubber Committee will hold speeches on October 18 and will focus on the status quo and outlook for end-of-life tires in the Gulf countries. The committee says tire recycling has become one of the most dynamic segments of the recycling industry, thanks in large part to a seismic shift in priorities from the economic to the ecological. Investors and corporations are taking a more active interest, not only because of steeply increasing demand among consumers for products made from sustainable raw materials but also because of the successful development of high-volume solutions for providing sustainably-produced raw materials.

Tyre and Road Wear Particles (TRWP) are tiny debris which are formed during normal driving conditions from the friction between the tyre and the road necessary to ensure sufficient grip and safety. Because of their size and composition, these particles are commonly associated with microplastics; yet the generation of TRWP is influenced by a variety of external factors including, but not limited to, tyre design, such as vehicle characteristics, road surface, weather, road topology and driving behaviour.

Every year, approximately 150 million tires are processed for recycling in Europe. This rubber from recycled tires has several useful applications, including being a crucial component of the artificial turf used in playgrounds, football fields, and road construction. The European Recycling Industries Federation (EuRIC), the Spanish Federation for Recovery and Recycling (FER), and the Collective Management System for End-of-Life Tyres in Spain (SIGNUS) have all issued statements warning of the significant consequences of the European Commission's proposal to ban the use of rubber crumb, a byproduct of tyres that have reached the end of their useful lives, on artificial turf fields without taking into account alternative, equally effective policies with less negative environmental effects.
