On October 27, 2025, The European Tyre and Rubber Manufacturers’ Association (ETRMA) launched its new identity, Tyres Europe, reflecting a clear, tyre-focused mandate to promote a competitive and innovative European Tyre Manufacturing industry, advancing a safe, smart and sustainable mobility. The Association’s Board has also elected Livio Magni (Pirelli) as President and Paolo Pompei (Nokian Tyres) as Vice-President for a two-year mandate.

The upcoming 5th European Carbon Black Summit, taking place on 3rd–4th December 2025 in Prague, will bring industry leaders together to address one of the most pressing issues facing the carbon black value chain: the balance between virgin and recovered carbon black (rCB) in Europe’s fast-changing market.

Ahead of the European Commission’s “Implementation Dialogue on Energy Efficient Product Legislation,” the European Tyre and Rubber Manufacturers’ Association (ETRMA) has released a new analysis conducted by Lizeo, reviewing more than one million tyre labels recorded across the EU and EFTA between 2012 and 2023.

On 10 September 2025, the European Tyre & Rubber Manufacturers Association (ETRMA) issued a statement welcoming the European Parliament’s adoption of the End-of-Life Vehicle Regulation (ELVR). The association underlined that this step brings greater regulatory clarity to the circular economy framework in Europe.

Harmonised EU-wide End-of-Waste (EoW) criteria for rubber derived from End-of-Life Tyres (ELTs) are essential to strengthen Europe’s tyre recycling market. Together with the European Tyre and Rubber Manufacturers’ Association (ETRMA), EuRIC emphasizes that the absence of harmonised EoW criteria poses significant challenges for the industry, hindering the trade and uptake of recycled tyre materials across borders.

The Tire and Rubber Association of Canada (TRAC) announced speakers and topics for the 2025 Rubber Recycling Symposium. Details such as attendee registration link, sponsorship and exhibitor details can be found at the main event page. Tire and Rubber Association of Canada with the Symposium’s Host Sponsor Alberta Recycling Management Authority (ARMA) invite professionals and companies involved in tire manufacturing, rubber recycling, manufacturing of products from recycled rubber, end-of-life tire stewardship organizations, governments, and equipment manufacturers to participate in what had become one of the largest events of its kind.

The European Tyre and Rubber Manufacturers’ Association (ETRMA) welcomes the European Recycling Industries' Confederation (EuRIC) efforts to support a stronger circular economy in Europe. ETRMA agrees that tyre recycling plays a vital role in this transition, and we share the ambition to improve tyre recycling in Europe.

Recovered carbon black (rCB) represents a transformative opportunity in the transition toward sustainable industrial materials. Derived from the pyrolysis of end-of-life tires (ELT), rCB offers a compelling alternative to virgin carbon black (vCB), significantly reducing environmental impacts while supporting circular economy principles. As industries seek to reduce their carbon footprint, enhance resource efficiency, and increase the use of recycled inputs, rCB has emerged as a commercially viable and environmentally responsible material.

The Competitiveness Compass for the EU highlights the need for securing critical raw materials, a crucial aspect for the tire industry which relies heavily on natural rubber. The European Commission’s renewed focus on industrial resilience must include a dedicated Rubber Strategy to ensure long-term supply stability and sustainability.
