Tyre Recycling protects nature, saves energy, and cuts CO₂.
Recycling Facts You Should Know
How does recycled rubber help save rainforests?
By substituting rubber with Tyre Recycling powder, we reduce the need for new rubber plantations—helping preserve rainforests that absorb more CO₂ than rubber plantations.
Why is incinerating tires wasteful?
When tires are burned for energy, only 16% of the original energy used in their production is recovered—wasting valuable high-quality resources.
What does the EU waste hierarchy recommend?
According to EU standards, Tyre Recycling is the preferred option for tire waste management compared to co-incineration.
Can recycled rubber be used in new tires?
Yes, Tyre Recycling from end-of-life tires substitutes virgin material, making tire production more sustainable and resource-efficient.
How much CO₂ can be saved by Tyre Recycling tires?
Tyre Recycling used tires emits significantly less CO₂—saving around 1.1 tons of CO₂ per 1 ton of recycled tires compared to incineration.
What materials are in a typical tire?
On average, a tire is made of 75% rubber, 15% steel, and 10% textile fibers—and all of these materials can be recycled.
