It is crucial to reintroduce products that lack alternatives into the market through sustainable solutions. Tires are among the products in transportation and logistics networks for which there is currently no alternative. Therefore, recovering end-of-life tires so they can be reused in tire manufacturing lies at the heart of our sustainability goals.
Although tires are constantly visible in our daily lives, their sheer numbers often go unnoticed by most of us. Yet, approximately 1.5 billion tires reach the end of their service life globally each year, representing a highly valuable resource for the circular economy.
The components of a tire—natural rubber, synthetic rubber, steel, and fiber—each play a distinct role in tire performance, and they retain their value even after the tire’s service life has ended. When stakeholders in the recycling and waste sectors effectively manage research, development, and planning processes, these materials can be separated and reused in appropriate settings and under suitable conditions.
At LAGEDO, we recover the components found in end-of-life tires without compromising their properties. Our high-performance products help lower production costs across various sectors, while our sustainable practices support the circular economy and job creation.
We avoid chemical processes in our production. Instead, we utilize equipment powered by ultra-high-pressure water technology and mechanical grinders. We protect the environment and contribute to reducing the carbon footprint through the clean technology we employ.
Our methods involve no elements that could harm soil, air, or water; we treat the process water and recover 95% of it for reuse in production, thereby significantly reducing our water footprint.
