Our world and life diversity it supports are under threat.
Deforestation, environmental pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, drainage of swamps, climate change, environmental degradation, resource depletion and other factors of modern age are damaging ecosystems at an unprecedented rate.
Environment destruction caused by humans is a global, ongoing problem. The bulk of environmental impacts are caused by the world population consumption of millions tons of industrial goods on daily basis, including tyres used for various applications.
The huge amount of solid waste generated from tyres is a major concern. Used tyres have a severe negative impact on the environment in terms of air, water, and soil pollution.
Because tyres are made of natural and synthetic rubbers, chemical fillers, plastics, textiles and steel, its easy to imagine how much they contribute to pollution of our nature.
Recycling automotive and other tyres is one of the major problems of our time.
Various studies confirm the possibility of 100% rubber recycling from automotive tyres and other industrial rubber products, unlike plastics where processing losses may amount up to 25%. According to the European Tire and Rubber Manufacturers Association (ETRMA) “for European tyre industry the Circular Economy begins with design by developing tyres for both optimal performance and longevity.”

It is impossible not to agree with this when it comes to the liability of tire manufacturers.
When the tire can no longer be restored and used for its intended purpose, then we find ourselves at the most important point of the circle, from which the calculation of the life of rubber, as a secondary product, begins.
