Tire Recycling: Accelerating the Circular Economy – Tire recycling is the process of converting end-of-life tires into material that can be utilized in new products. There are over one billion end-of-life tires generated annually worldwide according to the EPA. Around 249 million tires were generated in the U.S. in 2017 alone. Tires do not decompose. When tires pile up in landfills or junkyards, they can release chemicals into the air, ground, and water which impact ecosystems. As tires are exposed to sunlight, they can breakdown and release GHG into the air.

The World Economic Forum defines the Circular Economy as – “a system that is regenerative by design. It replaces the end-of-life concept with restoration, shifts towards the use of renewable energy, eliminates use of toxic chemicals which impair reuse and return to the biosphere, and aims for the elimination of waste through design of materials, products, systems, and business models.”  

There are many challenges when trying to accelerate circular economy adoption. These include formulation optimization, production optimization, increased production flexibility, and bringing new recycling processes to market quickly and profitably.
