Stratton Kirton of Liberty Tire Recycling said the US tire recycling sector was originally focused on dismantling large tire piles that had accumulated across the country. According to the article, after more than 50 million tires remained in stockpiles as recently as 1990, much of the industry’s work shifted toward processing end-of-life tires and finding uses for recycled rubber. Liberty Tire Recycling has since grown into one of the most prominent companies in the sector, with the article stating that it was founded in 2000 and now has more than 50 million tires from around 15,000 retail locations across North America reaching the company’s recycling network each year.

The new company, Lohum Talbros CarbonTech Pvt. Ltd., will focus on recovered carbon black, also known as rCB, and devulcanized rubber. These materials are linked to the recycling of end-of-life tires and industrial rubber waste, supporting the reuse of rubber-derived resources in new products and reducing dependence on virgin raw materials.

Today, advances in devulcanization technology are beginning to change that equation. New processes designed to selectively break sulfur cross-links while preserving the underlying polymer structure are creating opportunities to recover rubber in a form that can potentially be reused in more demanding applications.

TRA has announced that its Briefing Day 2026 will focus on the growing market potential of rubber modified bitumen and rubberized asphalt technologies. According to the TRA, this year’s event aims to revisit what it describes as an overlooked market opportunity for recycled tire materials within the UK road construction sector.

Robert Weibold – an internationally renowned expert in the field of tire recycling and tire pyrolysis – is speaking about rubber devulcanization market, trends and technology providers at Rubber Week 2026 in Vienna, Austria, on June 10 2026.

Serbia took a significant step toward sustainable tire recycling and circular economy practices with the establishment of its first bilateral ecosystem dedicated to implementing the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) model in the tire sector. The initiative was formalized at the Future-Proof Industry: Innovation, Partnerships and Sustainable Growth conference, held at the Serbian Chamber of Commerce (PKS). During the event, representatives of Confindustria Serbia, Italian sustainability company Innovando, and PKS signed a Memorandum of Understanding, marking the official launch of the Serbian–Italian EPR ecosystem for tires.

Jon Visaisouk, CEO of Tyromer, appeared on Episode 79 of The Tyre Recycling Podcast, recorded live at the Round Trip Tyre and Conveyor Belt Recycling Summit in Melbourne. Tyromer employs a proprietary devulcanization process to convert crumb rubber into high-value material for new rubber manufacturing. During the interview, Visaisouk discussed the company's transition following the passing of founder Sam Visaisouk, operational progress at Tyromer's European facility in Arnhem, Netherlands, and increasing adoption of devulcanized rubber products, particularly from Tyromer India's production operations.
