Evonik wants to help make rubber materials from scrap tyres easier to re-use in the manufacture of new automobile tyres
So far, the suitability of recycled rubber has been very limited because its chemical structure hampers interaction with new tyre materials. A team of researchers at Evonik has now made a key step forward with a process that could make it possible to use up to four times as much recycled rubber in new tyres as in the past. “That brings us much closer to the key targets of sustainability and resource efficiency in this sector,” says Christian Mani, Project Manager Cir...
