The main function of a tyre is to rotate, but when the active rotation eventually stops, the journey of the rubber ring still does not stop – at least in Finland. We are not talking about small numbers here: almost perfect recycling rate means that, measured in weight, about 65,000 tonnes of tyres are recycled each year.

The quantities in question are considerable. Managing Director Risto Tuominen from Finnish Tyre Recycling will share his insights. He is a long-time tyre recycler who has probably seen and experienced everything this industry can offer. As a result, he has a strong opinion about the equipment required for recycling.
