Tyre recycling: Linglong signs agreement with Cleantire

,

In October 2021, Linglong Tire established a strategic cooperation with China-based renewable resources company Cleantire.

TRA: India’s end-of-life tyre recycling mandate a welcome move

E Bouman; Squarespace

The Indian government’s announcement of an action plan for the management of increasing volumes of waste tyres has been welcomed by the UK Tyre Recovery Association (TRA). Despite the Indian government’s move as a “much-needed response to a growing environmental challenge”, TRA representatives commented that India’s waste tyre arisings have been “swelling exponentially but so too have imports of old tyres from many western countries”. Some of the latter have reportedly “ended up being processed in illegal or environmentally unsuitable ways”.
