DESCRIPTION:Zero-Waste: Possibilities for Profitable Automotive Tyres Rec
 ycling in \nEuropean Regions\n19 January 2012\,\n13.00 - 18.00\, Room JD
 E 53\,\nThe Committee of the Regions\nOne of the most popular methods of
  tyres utilization is grinding the tyres \ninto the rubber crumb. Curren
 tly existing and widely used recycling methods \nthat exist throughout E
 urope\, face problem of effective market replication \nand generating pr
 ofit. Major amount of tyres  are ending up to further use \nin a form of
  rubber crumb (what is arguable preserving danger for the \nenvironment)
 \, but only minor recyclers offer full\, ecologically safe \nprocessing 
 of tyres (via pyrolysis\, thermolysis\, etc). Economic viability \nremai
 ns the major issue.\nResearching methods of economically profitable ways
  of pyrolysis\, \nthermolysis and other methods of recycling would turn 
 rubber waste \nutilization from the current position of being burden for
  producers to \nprofitable enterprises.  It is not only making Europe gr
 eener via utilizing \nwastes\, but creates healthy jobs and enterprises 
 on the market in this \ndifficult time.\nCould this be a one of solution
 s for further development of utilization and \nrecycling automotive tyre
 s in different regions of the European Union into \nthe profitable enter
 prises rather than obligatory burden on producers? What \nother methods 
 of reuse and recycling can provide successful market \nreplication as a 
 business model in result?\nIn the report “End of life tyres”\, published
  in 2010\, European Tyre & \nRubber Manufacturers Association (ETRMA) st
 ates\, that “…the economic \nviability of this alternative route for hig
 h temperature resource recovery \nfrom tyres is hampered by the fact tha
 t the prices obtained for the \nby-products often fail to justify the pr
 ocess costs. Under current market \nconditions the economic viability of
  these options has yet to be proved \n(there are few or no large-scale p
 lants currently in operation) but they \nhave the merit to offer scope f
 or increasing recycling rates”.\nThe discussion on advantages and disadv
 antages of pyrolysis and thermolysis \nan a very topical issue and needs
  to be addressed by the manufactures and \nrecyclers very attentively. T
 he regional implication of the issue is also \nessential\, considering d
 ifferent levels of recycling existing now \nthroughout the European Unio
 n.\nLess developed markets are consuming more cars each year\, and even 
 \ncurrently saturated markets are tend to shorten life cycle of single c
 ar\, \ntherefore opening potential for more waste. And even bicycles\, i
 n the end \nof the day\, are still run on rubber wheels. What other solu
 tions can be \nbrought for the European green future? What are the oppor
 tunities and \nlimitations\, for instance in the framework of Zero-Waste
  programme? How is \nit possible to support and motivate companies to fi
 nd innovative and \ncommercially viable methods of recycling?\n \nProgra
