The Rubber Conversion Life Green Vulcan project has been selected by the Italian Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security as the “Project of the Month”
Rubber Conversion’s project Life Green uses proprietary innovative technology to demonstrate the use of recycled rubber for industrial applications with high technical content.
Stellantis has industrialised spring pads containing 20 per cent recycled rubber, while Bridgestone has industrialised a tread for a car tyre (PCR) containing 10 per cent recycled rubber by weight.
For innovation-driven leaders who are actively looking for the most effective solutions for decarbonising tyres, automotive components, or footwear manufacturing operations, this is encouraging and exciting news.
These results pave the way for the use of high-quality recycled rubber, allowing remarkable savings in virgin rubber and in particular natural rubber, in full alignment with the EUDR directive (The European Union Deforestation Regulation), and a significant reduction in CO2 emissions.
Rubber Conversion SRL was founded in 2017, and the company is establishing itself internationally as a strategic supplier of high-quality sustainable rubber for the automotive, tyre and footwear sectors.
The company offers different grades of sustainable rubber produced from end-of-life tyres and offers a circular service of production waste, providing qualified technical support for the design of compounds.
The proprietary selective devulcanisation technology has earned the company several prestigious international awards including the National Startup Circular Economy Award, Caritro Award and Keynes Sraffa Award and is covered by an international patent.
This innovative SME has already attracted the attention of institutional investors, such as CDP Venture Capital Fund and LiFTT, as well as corporate investors, Enet Energy, and international Angel Investors, allowing the company to accelerate its development and internationalisation plan.
