In recognition of the best new research project carried out within the tyre recycling sector.
BLACKCYCLE (THE BLACKCYCLE
PROJECT)
BlackCycle is currently one of the largest, if not the largest, research projects in the tyre recycling field. With numerous partners across Europe and Michelin as project leader, a highly skilled team is focusing on the production of the “tyre of the future”, which mostly consists of tyre derived products generated by pyrolysis.
GEC COMPOUNDS (GENESIS EVOLUTION COMPOUNDS)
GEC Compounds have been nominated for their research into the development of Genesis Evolution Compounds.
MARIA ESTHER FERNANDEZ (TEXTILE WASTE)
Uruguayan research focusing on the technical evaluation of the use of textile waste from End-of-Life Tyres for the production of flat fibre cement plates and roof tiles.
PATRICIO MUNOZ / SUSTRENDLAB (TYRE SAWDUST)
Signus Ecovalor is one of the global leaders in EPR schemes. Whilst depending on the support of the all the main tyre manufacturers, SIGNUS has helped Spain become a leader in rubberised asphalt, brake pads and also pioneering the use of recycled tyres in fashion through the sustainable fashion brand Neomatique. Last year the company collected 176,178 tonnes of tyres and reused 170,721 tonnes.
SUSTRENDLAB (T-PHITE)
SustrendLab is engaged in research into the extraction of T-Phite from tyres. The graphite upgraded from recovered carbon black is used to create the anode in a battery, thereby assisting battery manufacturers in their drive to sustainability.
