German tyre recycling association AZuR has placed a focus on retreading as a pathway to improving circularity
One of its latest members is TRM Srl, the manufacturer of Marangoni’s Ringtread system. TRM brings a 40 year background of retread engineering to the AZuR table.
Additionally, AZuR brings forward news about the NERO project.
NERO aims to significantly increase the retreading rate. The project, coordinated by the Institute of General Mechanical Engineering and the Metabolon Institute of the TH Köln, has set itself the goal of developing test criteria and analytical methods for the fast and reliable assessment of the retreadability of scrap tyres.
Ultimately, the aim is to boost the level of car tyre retreading in Germany.
Staying with retreading, the 16th and 17th September see AZuR hosted by KRONE holding the 2nd retreading Summit at the KRONE Trailer Forum in Werlte.
Day 1 is aimed at freight forwarders and fleet operators, day 2 at retreaders, technology partners and political decision-makers. In addition to specialist lectures, discussions and best practices, participants can expect a factory tour, networking and concrete solutions for sustainable fleet strategies. Prior to that, on the 29th July, AZuR will discuss the opportunities of the new Waste Shipment Ordinance for greater recycling in Europe at the 4th AZuR Partner Regulars’ Table.
