Cementing a Commitment to Recycling
From time to time words are spoken about the role tyre manufacturers and wholesalers do – or should – play in the full life cycle of the products they sell. The accepted consensus is for a greater level of responsibility, a role most parties have readily accepted. Michelin, the world’s second largest tyre manufacturer, was one of the first companies off the mark in the UK in terms of meeting this obligation, and its joint venture facility for the processing of end of life tyres – Sapphire Energy Recovery – is now in its eighth year of operation.
