The Hawkesbury facility was designed as a 46,200 square-foot plant with 2 reactors. Once fully ramped up, it was expected to process approximately 1.3 million to 1.5 million end-of-life tires annually and produce 4,000 metric tons of recovered carbon black, 5,000 metric tons of pyrolysis oil, 2,000 metric tons of steel and 1,200 metric tons of process gas.

The European Tyre Recycling Association (ETRA) is hosting the three day event that will take place from Wednesday through to Friday 23 - 25 March 2022 at the NH Collection Hotel, Grand Sablon, Brussels. The Conference is the culmination of a year-long series of ETRA-led and supported activities and events that focused on market development and expansion for a broad array of recycled tyre materials, products and applications.

Tire Business has named Amy Brackin, senior vice president of sustainability at Liberty Tire Recycling L.L.C., as its 2025 Innovator of the Year in Sustainability, recognising her leadership in embedding sustainability as a core operating principle across the company. In her role at Liberty Tire Recycling, Brackin has led the company's environmental reporting efforts, overseen compliance and permitting, and driven long-term commitments around zero waste, community impact and value creation. Her work has helped connect day-to-day operational decisions with Liberty's broader sustainability strategy, engaging drivers, plant workers and site teams across North America.

Resuming in September, Weibold's webinars will continue delivering a high-quality content to anyone contemplating business opportunities in tire recycling or pyrolysis. In September 2020, Weibold is hosting an online webinar conducted by Luis Roca Blay and Nora Lardiés Miazza from AIMPLAS, Spain. Our previous webinars covering introductory and some advanced topics will be available as recordings on our website.

According to the recent press release, Energy Estate and InfraCo announced a joint venture “REVYRE” to develop and build innovative tire recycling plants in Australia and New Zealand, utilizing two revolutionary technologies – Vertech / RubberJet Valley tire disintegration and Tyromer rubber devulcanization. The stakeholders say that currently Australia disposes of over 60,000 tons of end-of-life tires (ELTs) by exporting them and approximately 100,000 tons are stockpiled in landfills or stockpiled onsite (predominantly within the mining and agricultural sectors). With the COAG agreed ban on used tire exportation from December 2021 the annual growth in Australia’s tire stockpile will be even greater. New Zealand currently generates 5-6 million ELTs annually which equates to close to 70,000 tons. These units are either shredded locally for domestic burning in cement kilns as Tyre Derived Fuel (TDF) or are baled and exported for use as TDF in Asia, the press release pinpoints.

According to Evonik, it is possible to get valuable products out of recycled tires, thus, it is not correct to treat tires as waste. The business also states that by providing old tires with second life in road projects, they get rid of disposal issue and prevent burning of tires. Additionally, Evonik manufactures products for surfacing roads using mix of processed plastics. The tests and monitoring procedures will be ongoing, however, the authorities now believe that the plastic and rubber roads that contain recycled materials such as tires will prove to be more durable and better in comparison to the conventional asphalt, as the latter has a high CO2 footprint.

Modern chemical tire recycling (pyrolysis) plants produce environmentally friendly chemical raw materials, and thus they support the overarching and specifically specified goals of the EU Green Deal and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. In addition, they can make a significant contribution to reducing GHG emissions in the manufacture of tires.

According to the document, the growth, at some extent, is a result of the anti-Dengue campaign which was launched to alert the public of the threats that may arise when tires are abandoned and serve as breeding place for mosquitos, the report added. The document went on claiming that the rate for tire recycling now exceeds the one of aluminum.

The third scientific AZuR Colloquium took place on October 10, 2024, on the Jülich campus of the Aachen University of Applied Sciences (FH Aachen) with high participation. Forty scientists from various universities, institutes, and disciplines came together to discuss current research findings and projects related to the sustainable reuse and recycling of end-of-life tires. The agenda included workshops, discussion panels, and keynote presentations on topics such as the pyrolytic utilization of end-of-life tire granulate, the use of old rubber granulates in flood protection, and the future of recovered carbon black (rCB) as a sustainable filler.
