    The Tyre Recycling Podcast | Episode #87 | Rubber Conversion Steps Forward at The Round Trip

    Francesco Di Pierro, Founder and CEO of Rubber Conversion, joins The Tyre Recycling Podcast for Episode 87 to discuss the future of sustainable rubber compounds. Recorded at the Round Trip Tyre and Conveyor Belt Recycling Summit in Melbourne, a joint event with Tyre Stewardship Australia and Tyrewise, this episode explores Rubber Conversion’s patented mechanochemical devulcanisation process. Francesco explains how this low-temperature technology promotes devulcanisation while minimising depolymerisation, resulting in high-quality raw materials that maintain abrasion resistance—a critical factor for meeting upcoming Euro 7 regulations. Francesco also details the company's strategic partnership with the historic machinery manufacturer Comerio Ercole, which provides engineering reliability for their global expansion. He outlines the success of the "Life Green Vulcan" project with partners like Bridgestone and Stellantis, and discusses their recent expansion plans, including a capacity increase in Verona, new opportunities in the Balkans, and a newly signed licensing agreement in India. Finally, Francesco offers his insights on the European regulatory landscape, including the challenges and contradictions of the EUDR and end-of-waste criteria. Francesco Di Pierro covers all this and more in Episode 87. So please join us as we learn all about the innovations driving the integration of recycled rubber into high-performance applications.

    The Tyre Recycling Podcast | Episode #86 | Rover Research: Discussing Water Jet Technology at NTRO

    Edoardo Fiore, Business Development Manager at Rover Research, joins The Tyre Recycling Podcast for Episode 86 to discuss their innovative water jet technology. Recorded at the NTRO in Port Melbourne during the Round Trip Tyre and Conveyor Belt Recycling Summit, a joint event with Tyre Stewardship Australia and Tyrewise, Edoardo explains how their patented system automates the retreading and recycling process for TBR and OTR tyres. He highlights the benefits of the technology, including energy savings, material recovery, and the production of high-quality, water-devulcanised "tyre dust" suitable for new compounds. Edoardo also reveals their upcoming plans for conveyor belt demolition—a key area for the Australian mining sector—and outlines their strategy of forming strategic partnerships and joint ventures rather than direct equipment sales. He details how Rover Research aims to disrupt the market by offering modular solutions that can be deployed on-site at mines or recycling hubs. Edoardo Fiore covers all this and more in Episode 86. So please join us as we learn all about this disruptive technology for the retreading and recycling sectors.

    The Tyre Recycling Podcast | Episode #85 | RubberJet Group’s High Pressure Water Jet Technology

    Tommaso Verri from RubberJet Group joins The Tyre Recycling Podcast for Episode 85, recorded at the Round Trip Tyre and Conveyor Belt Recycling Summit in Melbourne, presented by Tyre Stewardship Australia and Tyrewise. In this episode, Tommaso introduces RubberJet’s proprietary high-pressure water jetting technology, which offers a sustainable alternative to traditional ambient shredding. He explains how this process utilises kinetic energy to delaminate tyres, producing a 100% wire-free, high surface area crumb rubber that is seeing growing demand from tyre manufacturers and the compounding industry. Tommaso also details the company's "Life In Green" project, a European Commission co-funded initiative worth €3.6 million, specifically designed to tackle the logistical challenges of OTR and mining tyres in regions like Australia. He outlines RubberJet’s global expansion plans through joint ventures and partnerships with major players like Zeppelin and Brenntag, while highlighting the environmental benefits of their closed-loop water system which recirculates over 95% of the water used in the process. Tommaso Verri covers all this and more in Episode 85. So please join us as we learn all about these innovations in mining tyre recycling and material recovery.

    The Tyre Recycling Podcast | Episode #84 | Recircle: Tackling Manufacturing Waste at Source

    Barry van Bergen, CEO of Recircle Ltd., joins Ewan Scott for Episode 84 of The Tyre Recycling Podcast. Recircle is a UK technology company addressing a critical, yet often overlooked, aspect of the industry: unvulcanised rubber waste. Barry explains how their innovative water jetting technology selectively separates materials like tread compounds from uncured casings, allowing this valuable green rubber to be reincorporated back into the original masterbatch without contamination. He discusses the significant cost and environmental benefits of tackling manufacturing waste at the source, rather than incineration. Barry also highlights Recircle's plans to expand their technology for recycling other complex waste streams like conveyor belts, and teases their upcoming biotechnology solutions for fully devulcanising rubber. Barry van Bergen covers all this and more in Episode 84. So please join us as we discover how Recircle is closing the loop on tyre manufacturing waste.

    The Tyre Recycling Podcast | Episode #83 | BPI Advocating for Crumb Rubber Safety

    Scott Gerber, Program Director of the Better Play Initiative (BPI), joins Ewan Scott for Episode 83 of The Tyre Recycling Podcast. The BPI is a US-based advocacy group promoting the safe, sustainable use of recycled rubber in sports and playground applications. Scott addresses concerns about the safety of crumb rubber infill, citing comprehensive studies from agencies like the EPA and CalEPA (California) that have found no significant health risks. He discusses the importance of containment measures to prevent migration into the environment and argues that artificial turf with crumb rubber offers significant maintenance and playability advantages over grass, especially in wet weather. Finally, Scott emphasises that BPI's advocacy is grounded in science from independent and government bodies, not just industry. Scott Gerber covers all this and more in Episode 83. So please join us as we explore the debate surrounding crumb rubber safety and utility.

    The Tyre Recycling Podcast | Episode #80 | Inside “The Tyre Scandal” with Paul Kenyon

    BAFTA-winning BBC journalist Paul Kenyon joins The Tyre Recycling Podcast live from the Round Trip Tyre and Conveyor Belt Recycling Summit in Melbourne. Paul, whose File on 4 programme "The Tyre Scandal" exposed the illegal export of UK end-of-life tyres to India, discusses what he hoped to learn at the summit, noting Australia is at a "more advanced stage" than the UK. He reveals the "epiphany moment" of his investigation: realizing India lacked the legal pyrolysis capacity to process the sheer volume of tyres being exported from the UK. Paul identifies the UK's T8 exemption system as a major regulatory gap that allows for minimal enforcement or checks. He criticizes the UK government for its "utterly dismissive" response to the evidence and suggests the status quo is protected because the UK lacks the domestic facilities to manage its own tyre waste. Paul Kenyon covers all this and more in Episode 80. So please join us as we explore the findings and fallout from the investigation that put the UK tyre recycling industry under a global spotlight.
