The circular economy is one of the focus areas of the AWS Clean Energy Accelerator 4.0. Amazon Operations Sustainability has joined the programme as a piloting partner, looking for breakthrough solutions in low carbon building solutions, circular economy, sustainable fleet and mobility, and low carbon fuel technologies.

Tyromer is excited to collaborate with Amazon Operations Sustainability to pilot tyres containing TDP (Tyre-Derived Polymer), a devulcanised tyre rubber made from end-of-life tyres, to introduce the Tyromer Tyre-to-Tyre vision for sustainable mobility.

The AWS Clean Energy Accelerator 4.0, which was announced at COP28 and kicked off in March 2024, has selected its cohorts.

Throughout the year it will bring the participants and piloting partners into immersion sprints and workshops to dive deep into piloting opportunities in addition to events to showcase clean energy technology innovations, pilot progress and new use case developments to an audience of leaders in the energy space, industry experts, private and public sector and investors.

The Tyromer Tyre-to-Tyre strategy will contribute to the goal of sustainable mobility. Tyromer licenses its TDP production technology and systems worldwide to establish a distributed supply chain so customers can “buy local” and economic benefits and jobs “stay local”. Tyromer welcomes partners to advance its Tyre-to-Tyre vision for a circular economy.
