Mechanical tyre recycling is both resource efficient and environmentally respectful. The recovery of valuable materials from ELT contributes to reduce the dependency on natural resources (incl. critical raw materials such as rubber) while saving significant amounts of energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
