| Project Detail |
In Europe, more than 3 million tonnes of end-of-life tyres (ELTs) are generated every year. The EU-funded VALUE-RUBBER project proposes a game-changing idea, betting on the high-risk innovation of fully recovering rubber from ELTs as a real substitute for virgin rubbers. Work is already underway to assure innovative recycling technology of rubber from ELTs, achieving complete rubber devulcanisation. The recycled rubber, Value-Rubber, has maximised potential, allowing it to be used as a full substitute for virgin rubbers in conventional manufacturing processes. The innovation is expected to contribute to the EU circular economy, creating also a new market for ELT recyclers. |
