The municipal asphalt campaign includes 38 planned interventions on public roads such as Camino del Molino and the streets Galicia, Grecia, Murcia, Luis Sauquillo and Andalucía. The works will cover interdistrict and local roads, as well as deteriorated roundabouts. The project includes milling and asphalt paving, along with complete repainting of road markings and curbs. The city said the works are intended to improve the road surface across several areas of Fuenlabrada.

yderabad-based waste-commerce company Recykal is planning to expand its recycling ecosystem by setting up hyperlocal processing units for several waste streams, including paper, batteries and tires. The company, which operates a technology-driven platform connecting waste generators, recyclers and other waste management stakeholders, said the expansion is intended to bring processing closer to the locations where waste is generated. Recykal has raised $22 million, or around ₹162.8 crore, to strengthen its technology platform and broaden its operations. The proposed expansion into tire waste could support more organized collection and recycling of end-of-life tires, while the wider hyperlocal model may improve transparency, reduce transport distances and create a more decentralized circular economy network for recyclable materials.

According to the latest press release by Tyre Stewardship Australia (TSA), regional Queensland is suffering with illegal tire dumping and dangerous tire stockpiles representing a missed opportunity for Australia’s northeast state. By recovering resources like steel and rubber from end-of-life tires, Queensland can build high-performance roads and generate valuable commercial markets that promote local jobs and manufacturing across the state. “Putting crumb rubber in roads is a winning circular economy formula already happening across Australia and around the world. “It’s time for Queensland State and Local government to start mandating their roads be made using Australian crumb rubber. By not mandating locally available rubber resources for roads, Queensland risks letting its road sector fall behind on industry best practice,” says Lina Goodman, CEO of Tyre Stewardship Australia.

Paul Downey argues that US tariffs are pushing North American businesses toward more localized supply chains, creating an opening for the recycling sector to become a stronger source of domestic raw materials. The article says manufacturers are under pressure from higher raw material costs, while retailers are managing increased import costs, and that these conditions could make recycled materials more strategically important if the United States improves its recycling policy framework. The commentary frames recycling not only as an environmental activity but as supply chain infrastructure, arguing that domestic material recovery could help manufacturers reduce exposure to global trade disruption, support reshoring and build more resilient industrial supply chains. However, it also warns that without reform, the United States could miss the opportunity to turn recycling into a competitive advantage.

Bolder Industries Belgium, an affiliate of US-based Bolder Industries, LLC, the circular solutions provider for the rubber, plastics, and petrochemical industries, formally signed a landmark €32 million grant agreement with the European Commission’s EU Innovation Fund, one of the world’s largest funding programs supporting the deployment of innovative, low-carbon technologies at scale. The grant award was confirmed following rigorous due diligence by the EU Innovation Fund and will support the construction of Bolder’s new, state-of-the-art facility in Antwerp, Belgium. This milestone further solidifies Bolder's position as a global leader in circular economy solutions and supports the company’s continued expansion following a transformative growth investment by Tiger Infrastructure Partners earlier in the year.

According to the latest press release by Audi Hungaria Zrt., as a result of the company’s collaboration with New Energy Kft., from now on, tire waste generated at the site of Audi Hungaria in Győr will be chemically recycled, thereby avoiding the release of microplastics and the hazardous substances that leach from them into the environment during recovery. The process used for this is pyrolysis, in which tire waste is chemically converted into oil. The oil produced is used by petrochemical companies to produce new plastics, while the resulting recovered carbon black (rCB) is utilized in tire production. The gases produced during pyrolysis are used to generate the high temperatures needed for the process.

Fornnax is pleased to announce its significant project with RPM Automotive Group Limited, a prominent Australian automotive parts distributor. This ambitious initiative demonstrates RPM's strong commitment to environmental responsibility within Australia’s tyre recycling industry. To achieve its objectives, RPM strategically integrated Fornnax's high-capacity SR-200 HD primary shredder into its operations in 2024.

For too long, end-of-life tires (ELTs) have been treated as trash and discarded. 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.
