The Corporate Sustainability Advocate category recognizes organizations that promote sustainability beyond internal practices. Uniq’s approach is based on the idea that procurement decisions directly influence environmental outcomes.

Tire pyrolysis oil (TPO) has landed at the intersection of two big policy drives: circularity for end-of-life tires (ELTs) and the EU’s push to scale recycled carbon fuels under RED III. Chemistry is attractive — a liquid fuel from a widespread waste stream — but the arithmetic is brutal. Combustion emissions alone push TPO very close to conventional diesel on a life-cycle basis, meaning TPO alone cannot meet RED III’s 70% GHG reduction requirement without using credits tied to the tires’ alternative fate. Properly applied e_ex-use (diversion) credits are therefore decisive: they can turn TPO from a near-miss into a qualifying recycled carbon fuel — but only if the baseline is robustly documented and upstream emissions are tightly controlled.

CM Shredders, a leading manufacturer of advanced tire recycling systems, proudly announces the successful commissioning of a high-capacity Tire-Derived Aggregate (TDA) shredding system for EVIROPOL in Tahiti, the crown jewel of French Polynesia. This milestone marks a significant environmental achievement for the island nation—transforming end-of-life tires from a critical waste problem into valuable resources for sustainable development.

The REMADE Institute®, a division of the Sustainable Manufacturing Innovation Alliance Corp., today issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit both technology development projects and technology demonstration projects that will increase the reuse, remanufacturing/retreading, or recycling of end-of-life tires (ELT) generated in New York State.

CM Shredders, a global leader in tire recycling technology, and its sister company Shred-Tech®, a recognized name in industrial shredding systems, will be exhibiting together at Pollutec 2025, Europe’s premier environmental and sustainability trade fair. The companies will highlight how their combined capabilities deliver one of the world’s most complete portfolios of shredding and recycling technology.

Professional motorsport events generate large volumes of used tires, and in the United States, NASCAR—one of the country’s largest and most popular racing organizations—has established a recycling system to manage this waste sustainably. In each NASCAR race, high-performance race cars can require 9 to 14 tire changes, leading to tens of thousands of tires being used across a single racing season.

Michigan has halted the long-standing practice of burning scrap tires for energy, following a 2023 change in state law that removed tire-derived fuel from the list of renewable energy sources. The decision, coupled with the decline of biomass power plants, has left recyclers and policymakers searching for alternative ways to manage the state’s 10 million discarded tires annually.

On November 27, 2024, Weibold7s webinar by CM Shredders delved into the innovative features of the company's tire shredders. CM Shredders is a global leader in industrial shredders and recycling systems, with a focus on enhancing operational efficiency and lowering the cost per ton in tire recycling. The session explore CM’s patented technology and turnkey solutions designed to produce clean-cut tire-derived fuel (TDF) and wire-free crumb rubber while reducing downtime and extending equipment lifespan.

ELTs make up nearly 2% of the total global waste, and an estimated one billion ELTs are discarded yearly. This waste flow is growing dramatically year after year. But businesses follow circular economy principles, they begin to view this trash as an opportunity. Through chemical pyrolysis, ELTs can be broken down into reusable commodities like recovered Carbon Black, recovered Pyrolysis Oil, and recovered Steel.
