According to the European Recycling Industries’ Confederation (EuRIC), in the EU, almost 95% of end-of-life tyres (ELT) are currently collected and treated due to effective waste tyre management systems, largely driven by extended producer responsibility (EPR) schemes and recycling investments. However, there has been a lack of EU policies to enhance the circularity of raw materials from ELT over the past two decades. The rubber recycling market faces regulatory challenges, leading to uncertainty for tyre recyclers and hindering innovation and investment. A regulatory framework is necessary to promote material circularity in tyres and develop sustainable applications, maximising environmental benefits and reducing reliance on natural resources.

The Tire Industry Association (TIA) and the U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association (USTMA) announced the formation of the Tire Recycling Foundation, a collaborative initiative aimed at fostering sustainable and circular market solutions for end-of-life tires. The unveiling of the Tire Recycling Foundation took place at the 2024 OTR Tire Conference, where John Sheerin, Director of End-of-Life Tire Programs at USTMA, joined Dick Gust, CEO of TIA, on stage to introduce this initiative.

In his recent article, Patrick Buder, Sustainability Strategy Manager at Zeppelin Systems, discovers how end-of-life tire recycling is taking a leap towards sustainability with the new process developed by Recykl, a part of the Recykl Group, and facilitated by Zeppelin Systems. In this innovative approach, the textile fibers from discarded tires are transformed into a valuable product known as Smapol, advancing road construction practices.

The foot of the EJ Whitten Bridge in Victoria has become a massive illegal dumping ground for tires, reflecting a statewide trend. Authorities attribute the surge in tire dumping to businesses avoiding recycling fees and rogue operators exploiting recycling schemes. The Department of Transport and Planning has cleared approximately 2500 tires from beneath the bridge, with many remaining on the slope and some falling into the river. The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) is investigating.
