Ecopneus, ten years of green and circular strategy at the service of the Country: over 2.2 million tonnes of End-of-Life Tyres managed in 10 years, + 6% compared to its legal targets
Over 700 thousand collection interventions completed at about 25 thousand tyre dealers throughout the national territory. To these, one must add the emptying of historical stocks and the extra-ordinary collection of ELTs abandoned in the territories of the Terra dei...
Training, Circular Economy, and End-of-Life Tyres: The Ecopneus Academy is born
An advanced training structure on the issues linked to the circular economy of End-of-Life Tyres: from the correct management of their recycling, to the legislation of reference and the applications of recycled rubber. Promoted by Ecopneus, the Ecopneus Academy aims...
Electric mobility and “silent” asphalt with recycled materials against noise pollution: two European Projects in Italy
The LIFE Nereide and LIFE E-Via Projects are financed by the European Union through the Life Programme. They are looking for an answer to the problem of noise pollution caused by traffic in urban centres as it affects 100 million people in Europe every year. An ideal...
Ecopneus and the Army: a collaboration that carries on also with the Covid-19 Vaccination Centre in the Military Citadel of the Cecchignola in Roma
Urban furniture and bollards in recycled rubber and a stretch of road resurfaced with asphalt modified with recycled rubber powder from End-of-Life Tyres are the symbols of the collaboration between the Italian Army and Ecopneus. This collaboration is going on even...
More and more “green” roads in Italy: about 600 km of roads have been resurfaced with asphalts made with recycled rubber from End-of-Life tyres
The use of modified asphalts is growing. This year it has recorded a +63% compared to 2019. Modified asphalts resist potholes, they last 3 times longer than traditional asphalts, and they reduce noise and maintenance costs. All this using recycled materials.
When an innovation brings concrete benefits, its spreading knows no limits. And the figures confirm it. According to the data supplied by Ecopneus, as of today, about 600 km/lanes of roads have been created with the use of asphalts modified with rubber recycled from ELTs in Italy – a distance that could cover the distance from Rome to Milan.
Asphalts: USTMA launches a research project to evaluate the environmental impact, the performances, and the advantages of asphalts modified with rubber recycled from End-of-Life Tyres.
The US Tire Manufacturers Association (USTMA), in collaboration with The Ray - a non-profit company for sustainable transport technologies – have announced a research project to evaluate the performances, the environmental impacts, and the advantages linked to the...
Ecopneus host of the TV programme Geo&Geo to talk about the recovery of End-of-Life tyres
Over 2 million tonnes of End-of-Life tyres collected, recovered, and transformed by the Ecopneus chain become a source of wealth for...
Noise-reduced surfaces have reached the ANAS roads
Thanks to the use of warm technologies and eco-friendly materials such as recycled rubber powders, it is possible to create low-noise road surfaces with excellent mechanical characteristics. Moreover, the environmental impact during the production and laying phases of...
Innovation turns into a road in Sardinia: sound-absorbing asphalt made with rubber recycled from End-of-Life Tyres is on its way.
On the main road that links Olbia to the rest of the region, over 8,000 m/sq. of road have been resurfaced with asphalt modified with powder derived from recycled rubber from End-of-Life tyres (ELTs): a type of asphalt that lasts for longer, is more silent, and more...
A sound-proofing surface made with rubber powder from ELTs is on its way on the Anas roads
The University of Pisa has collaborated to the Project. Thanks to the Nereide project, the University has gained great experience in the study of low noise emission surfaces, and also Ecopneus with reference to technical assistance. At the beginning of July,...
