British recycling innovator, Big Atom, is celebrating a receiving a £350,000 grant from Innovate UK, which is to help the company further advance in end-of-life tire recycling. The tire recycling company, which, reportedly, boasts the North West’s second largest tire recycling plant, has been given the cash injection to develop its patented chemical reactor technology, which will convert old waste tires into new materials. Company founder, Alexander Guslisty, said that the grant would enable the business to develop the concept of a novel pyrolysis reactor with improved temperature control and efficiencies to create an even more sustainable regeneration process for polymers.

The Tyre Recovery Association (TRA) today welcomed the announcement of a Westminster Hall debate on the critical issue of end-of-life tyres (ELTs) and recycling. The debate, secured by Tessa Munt, MP for Wells and Mendip Hills, is scheduled to take place at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, 29 April. It comes at a crucial time, following increased scrutiny of the sector after the BBC's File on 4 documentary, The Tyre Scandal, which exposed the environmental damage caused by UK waste tyres being burnt in India.

Mars Mineral, a global provider of pelletizing technology, is enhancing its manufacturing capabilities through a new investment at its parent company, Woodward Inc. Woodward, a precision metal fabricator, is expanding its square footage and installing a state-of-the-art shape cutting/layout burning machine to support increased production efficiency and precision.

Ecopneus – Italian end-of-life tire management authority – reports about opening the latest generation synthetic turf field with recycled rubber in Caserta. According to Ecopneus, the initiative became possible thanks to the "Protocol against the abandonment of discarded tires" in Italy.</p><p>The children and youngsters of the Vanvitelli district will be able to play and dream big, because in their neighborhood today two new football fields and five-a-side football pitches have been constructed.

Pyrum Innovations AG (Pyrum) has already started preliminary discussions with Thermo Lysi SA for the development of a new plant for the recycling of used tires in Greece. Pyrum has agreed to carry out all the planning necessary to obtain the building permits required under Greek law for the new facility, to be built approximately 140 km north of Athens. The facility will have a capacity of 20,000 tons of end-of-life tires per year and will therefore be able to cover almost half of the total amount of end-of-life tires in Greece – the country generates around 45,000 tons of waste tires annually. The new plant will help sustainably recycle these used tires and recover valuable resources.

The Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority (RPRA) – Canadian end-of-life tire management authority – has recently posted the 2022 Annual Report. In 2022 RPRA focused on scaling up its producer responsibility programs, developing registry portals, and launching new compliance and digital reporting programs, all of which are central to RPRA’s mandate. 2022 was the fourth year of operations for the Tires Program under Ontario’s producer responsibility regulatory framework outlined in the Tires Regulation.

This March, BASF revealed its plans to use pyrolysis oil from recycled tires to manufacture outdoor pants. The new product line of the outdoor apparel company VAUDE which will be available in stores from March 2022, does not only stands out due to its timeless design, robust material and simple reparability – the pants are also sustainable, as chemically recycled endof-life tires are used as a raw material. With this innovation, BASF and VAUDE seek to make a contribution towards reducing waste and preserving valuable resources.

Pyrum Innovations AG (Pyrum), a pioneer in the sustainable recycling of end-of-life tires (ELT) based on its patented pyrolysis technology, has commissioned the first automated, semi-industrial recycling plant for carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP) after almost four years of development. This is the first time CFRP has been holistically recycled worldwide. The plant is located at the main factory in Dillingen/Saar and will serve as the cornerstone for the construction of an industrial plant. This opens up another promising market for Pyrum alongside the recycling of used tires. Fiber-reinforced composites, which include CFRP, are used in a wide variety of areas, including the transport industry in the production of passenger cars and commercial vehicles, aviation and public transport.
