Description
Europe's tyre recycling industry faces a critical challenge: cost-driven decisions often take precedence over environmental responsibility. In many extended producer responsibility (EPR) systems, tyres are exported for processing abroad, only to be reimported as recycled materials – a move that has a detrimental impact on the EU circular economy, disregarding the loss of valuable resources, the environmental costs of transportation, and CO₂ emissions.
With regulatory shifts, evolving market demands, and the imperative for decarbonisation and resource autonomy, tyre circularity has never been more important.
This webinar will convene key industry stakeholders to address pressing challenges and emerging opportunities, with a focus on:
- Boosting demand for recycled materials
- Tackling trade barriers
- Advancing end-of-waste criteria
- Integrating digital product passports (DPPs) to enhance recyclability
