THE WITHDRAWAL
CHAIN

Tires dealers, workshops and service stations are the points where typically End of Life Tires are produced. From here the ELTs are withdrawn each time the store or service area is close to saturation. The owner only needs to report through an efficient management system. Authorized and contracted hauliers are responsible for collecting ELTs.

Only the types of tire indicated by current legislation are withdrawn and sent to the ELT cycle:

  • mopeds and motorcycles tires
  • motor vehicles and related trailers tires
  • trucks and buses tires
  • agricultural, operating and industrial machines tires

THE CHAIN
THE RECYCLING

In processing plants, ELTs are selected and then processed to separate the materials of which they are composed: rubber, metal and textile fibers. In particular, rubber is reduced to granulate and dust, both products in great demand on the market. The materials are then transferred to companies that will use them to make new objects.

This way ELTs cease to be waste and play a new role, useful for the economy and environmentally-friendly. It is also the indication of the current legislation, which defines recycling as those operations that allow waste to be used to replace new materials that would have been used for the same use.

ARE WE RUNNING OUT
OF RUBBER?

Natural rubber from 2017 has been officially inserted in the Europe Critical Raw Materials list. Supply risk is considered “above threshold levels” by an ETRMA study for the European Innovation Partnership. ELTs recycling is one of the most effective processes to obtain rubber without resorting to the raw materials from which it derives.

“KM0”
WORKED TIRES

Over the years Greentire has selected a network of ELTs processing plants that are not only in possession of all the necessary requisites and authorizations, but also meet the criteria of competence, professionalism and experience. The commitment of the Consortium to safeguard the environment is to focus exclusively on Italian plants, for a supply chain as close as possible to “km0”.

The efficiency of its ELT cycle has led Greentire to be the Consortium that recovers the highest percentage of material. A choice of responsibility also rewarded by the market. For this reason the Consortium only takes into consideration, as a last resort, and only if the recycling of material is not possible, the recycling of energy from ELT through waste-to-energy plants.

TRANSPARENCY MEANS EFFICACY:
THE MANAGEMENT OF ELT CYCLE
ACCORDING TO GREENTIRE

Effective management of the ELT cycle must be first of all transparent. The law imposes it, and already today Greentire complies with the new regulations that will be even more stringent. An integrated tracking system controls all the steps, from the production of waste to the recycling of material.

At any time it’s possible to check the movements, the quantities in stock, the activity of plants and haulers. “Ritiro PFU” is the management software developed exclusively for Greentire that allows to obtain information on withdrawn lots: monitoring production points, organizing withdrawals, tracking transporters activity, informing about ELTs in processing plants.

HOW WITHDRAWAL ELT
MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE WORKS

  • Image
    Tire dealers, workshops and service stations update the quantities of ELTs in stock at their activities
  • Image
    If the quantity in stock requires it, the withdrawal is organized
  • Image
    The haulers network, efficient and composed by authorized and contractualized staff, will collect them
  • Image
    In real time the haulers confirm the successful collection, report the quality and quantity of waste, then proceed to the temporary ELT stock or to the immediate delivery to the recycling centers
  • Image
    The recycling centers network informs in real time of the receipt of individual ELTs shipments, of their treatment, with certification of the derivatives obtained
