The Municipality of Tunuyán, through its Environment Directorate, carried out another transfer of end-of-life tyres (ELTs) collected from various locations across the department
The initiative in Tunuyán, Argentina, is part of a programme developed over several years in partnership with Holcim and local tyre shops to ensure the proper management of ELTs and promote their energy recovery. During 2025, the initiative helped recover 1,940 tyres, which were sent for energy recovery through co-processing in the cement industry.
For the latest collection, a truck collected tyres stored at participating workshops across the department, whose participation, according to the Municipality, is crucial in supporting an environmental policy strengthened by the commitment between the public and private sectors.
The Municipality of Tunuyán has also provided a Google Form that residents with ELTs at home can use to request their collection. Tyre workshops in the department that are not yet part of the programme can join by contacting the Environment Directorate.
Through sustained efforts and the participation of different stakeholders, Tunuyán continues to promote responsible environmental practices that help protect the local environment and make efficient use of resources.
