U.S. tire producers have attained considerable success in sustainability promotion as over 80 percent scrap tires that had been generated in the state, managed to find application on end markets in 2017, the U.S Tire Manufacturers Association (USTMA) asserted in its detailed report. The new report also revealed that USTMA’s members managed to reduce almost 10 percent the level of carbon dioxide emissions since 2010. Moreover, the number of workers who got injuries and fell ill declined 50 percent since 2005. Another achievement is that the pr

This webinar series is designed to explore sustainability options in the rubber polymer industry. It will cover both material innovations and manufacturing best practices that promote environmental responsibility.

The U.S. generates around 300 million scrap tires annually, with many repurposed as ground material rubber. The industry is transitioning, favoring increased use of ground tire rubber in molded goods and landscaping mulch. John Sheerin, director, End-of-Life Tire Programs at the U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association (USTMA), sais that the tire recycling industry is in a state of transition. As he explained, there is a distinct trend towards increased utilization of ground tire rubber in new products like molded and extruded goods and landscaping mulch.

German end-of-life tire pyrolysis operator Pyrum Innovations AG (Pyrum) has started series delivery of recovered carbon black (rCB) to Ralf Bohle GmbH, manufacturer of German bicycle tire brand Schwalbe. According to Pyrum, the delivery will close the loop “completely” for Schwalbe, which collects end-of-life tires through its recently launched recycling system and supplies them to Pyrum for further processing.

Tyre Stewardship Australia (TSA) is featured in the Network Ten’s Planet Shapers TV series. The episode dived into Australia’s end-of-life tyre story, providing a snapshot of the current state of play for tyre recovery in Australia, what is happening onshore right now and the road ahead to achieving better and more sustainable outcomes for country’s end-of-life tyres. The rubber from end-of-life tyres can be a valuable material. Australian labs and manufacturing are producing fantastic innovations with materials derived from used tyres including:

Scandinavian Enviro Systems (Enviro) – a tire pyrolysis equipment manufacturer and operator based in Sweden – and its partner Michelin – one of the global leaders in tire manufacturing – have presented another sustainable racing tire based on recovered carbon black from Scandinavian Enviro Systems. The new tire is a high-performance tire developed for racing cars and was recently presented at Michelin’s Movin’On global sustainable summit. According to Enviro, the new tire contains 46 percent renewable and recovered material, including recovered carbon black delivered by Enviro to Michelin. Michelin presented the new high-performance tire mounted on the electric-hydrogen, long-distance racing car, GreenGT Mission H24. Earlier this spring, Michelin also presented a sustainable racing tire for MotoE, a racing series for electric motorcycles, which also contained recovered carbon black from Enviro. Michelin has announced the goal that all its tires will be manufactured entirely from sustainable material by 2050.
