“With over two decades of expertise, Mr. Dieter Jerschl joins FORNNAX as a regional partner to accelerate sustainable recycling solutions across key European markets.” FORNNAX TECHNOLOGY, one of the leading advanced recycling equipment manufacturers, is pleased to announce its newest sales partnership in Germany as part of its strategic expansion into Central Europe. The company has entered into a collaborative agreement with Mr. Dieter Jerschl, an industry veteran with more than 20 years of experience in the shredding and recycling sector, having worked with prominent companies like BHS, Eldan, Vecoplan, and more, to represent and promote FORNNAX's solutions in the region.

The partnership expanded Tana’s regional distribution network and enabled Hungarian customers to source TANA mobile waste shredders, landfill compactors and screening equipment through a locally established provider. These machines are widely used in waste treatment applications, including the pre-processing of end-of-life tyres for material recycling, rubber recovery and downstream technologies such as pyrolysis.

As 2026 begins, Fornnaxstands at a pivotal stage in its growth journey. Over the past few years, the company has built a strong foundation rooted in engineering excellence, innovation, and a firm commitment to sustainable recycling. The focus ahead is clear: to grow faster, stronger, and on a truly global scale. "Our 2026 strategy is driven by four key priorities," explains Mr. Jignesh Kundaria, Director & CEO of Fornnax.

Australia was increasingly being described as a destination for low-cost, poor-quality tyres as overseas regulations—particularly in Europe—tightened, according to industry experts and regulators (TSA). Concerns centred on safety, environmental impact and the downstream consequences for tyre waste management. Experts reported that budget tyres, often imported already fitted to new vehicles or sold as low-cost replacements, tended to wear out significantly faster than higher-quality alternatives. While cheaper at the point of sale, they were said to cost motorists more over time due to more frequent replacement. Faster wear also meant greater release of tyre particles into the environment, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)—chemicals of concern that are carcinogenic and harmful to ecosystems.

Episode 6 of Video Insights by Tyre & Rubber Recycling magazine features Ankit Kalola, General Manager at Fornnax, recorded following the Recovered Carbon Black Conference in Barcelona organised by Smithers. In the interview, Kalola outlines Fornnax’s role in supplying integrated shredding and granulation systems that convert whole tyres into rubber chips and granules suitable for use as pyrolysis feedstock.

The Tyre Recovery Association (TRA) has renewed its call for the UK government to introduce a ban on the export of whole and baled end-of-life tyres (ELTs), urging policymakers to adopt a regulatory approach similar to that implemented in Australia.

In Episode 85 of The Tyre Recycling Podcast, Tommaso Verri of RubberJet Group discusses the company’s high-pressure water-jetting technology, presented during the Round Trip Tyre and Conveyor Belt Recycling Summit in Melbourne. The process uses kinetic energy to delaminate tyres, producing wire-free, high-surface-area rubber powder as an alternative to conventional ambient shredding.

Recent updates from the AZuR network point to continued momentum in the development of Europe’s circular tyre economy, with a focus on tire recycling technologies, infrastructure applications, and international knowledge exchange.

Fornnax’s tyre recycling technology represents one of the most comprehensive and integrated systems currently available for processing end-of-life tyres (ELTs). Designed to accommodate a wide variety of input materials—from passenger car and truck tyres to agricultural and OTR tyres—the plant is built to adapt to customer requirements while maintaining consistently high output quality.
