Olivia Collier and Maslin Mellick, 2022 master of architecture graduates from the College of Architecture and Planning (CAP) in Denver, found inspiration for their senior capstone project in in the local tire landfill, called "Tire Mountain". Their project, which involved creating a "Clean-Tech Manufacturing Facility for Sustainable Building Products," was awarded the Colorado Green Building Guild (CGBG) Student Project of the Year. Although they initially researched nature's byproducts and society's waste to develop sustainable building materials, they ultimately focused on tires, resulting in their innovative invention and design. Both Collier and Mellick wanted to work on a project that would have a meaningful impact on their area. They decided to focus on landfills and found inspiration in the trash at Colorado Tire Recycling (CTR).

One of the milestones of the new year for AZuR is the establishment of a new, interdisciplinary project group. The fourth AZuR project group, initially consisting of 11 partners under the leadership of Martin von Wolfersdorff, aims to generate fresh ideas for the chemical recycling of used tires. Interdisciplinary AZuR project groups are intended to advance innovative recycling methods for used tires. Currently, there are already project groups focusing on retreading, material recycling of used tires, and rubberized asphalt. The composition of these groups, with partners from industry, trade, and academia, is chosen to incorporate as many relevant aspects and perspectives on a topic as possible.

In a recent article by Automotive World, Krzysztof Wróblewski, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Technology Officer at Contec S.A., delves into the potential of recycled tires to reshape the future of mobility. Rather than viewing end-of-life tires (ELTs) as mere waste, the automotive industry can leverage them as valuable secondary feedstock for tire manufacturing, aligning with circular principles. This shift could substantially reduce the carbon footprint of tires and contribute to manufacturers' ambitious 2050 goals of achieving net-zero emissions.

EFG Polymers, a resource recovery company based in Arizona, United States, announced this December an initiative to redefine what constitutes “end-of-life” (EOL) for tires and what constitutes rubber waste. The materials incorporated in tires when removed from service retain almost all of the properties existing when the tires were manufactured, indeed it is the retention of these properties of indestructibility that create the resource recovery challenge. The current EOL processes almost universally destroy those valuable properties rather than recover the resources. EFG technologies engineer new elastomeric materials with high value applications and dramatically extend the life of the resources while eliminating waste.

InfraCo Global Limited (InfraCo) has established a new subsidiary, REVYRE Global Polymers Pty Ltd (RGP) and entered into a global agreement with Advanced Sustainable Polymers Pte Ltd of Singapore. Tyromer Inc is a technology spin-off from the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada dedicated to solving the global problem of scrap tires. Tyromer has developed a patented technology that converts scrap tires into a devulcanized rubber compound

The III Latin American Tire Recycling Conference, also known as JornadasReciclaje, represents an excellent opportunity to explore various alternatives in technologies, regulations, developments, and diverse solutions related to tire recycling in Latin America. The Latin American Society of Rubber Technology (SLTC) aims to be a driving force for technological, entrepreneurial, and management knowledge in the rubber industry. With over 6,000 members and 30 years of experience, SLTC is committed to the principles of the circular economy, sustainability, and rubber product recycling within the industry.

The Canadian Tire and Rubber Association (TRAC) has announced the recipients of its inaugural industry leadership awards for 2022. The End-of-Life Tyre Management Companies and Other Businesses Focused on Sustainability were recognized by the Tire and Rubber Association of Canada as exceptional individuals and businesses for their devotion and commitment to excellence in the tyre and rubber industry.
