What are ELTs?

Every tyre has a story: kilometres travelled and experiences lived. When the journey on the roads gets to its end, that story does not end there: a new phase of its life cycle starts, when a tyre becomes a strategic resource.

What an End-of-Life Tyre is

An ELT (End-of-Life Tyre) is a tyre that has finished its primary function on a vehicle. It is a complex object, the result of advanced industrial and material processes. As such, it preserves properties that turn it into a precious resource of the circular economy even at the end of its life.

The strategic value of ELTs

The value of ELTs lies in its very composition: a mix of high quality secondary raw materials such as rubber, steel, and textile fibres. The legislative framework that prevents its disposal in landfills was born out of the acknowledgement of this potential, turning a recycling obligation into a lever for sustainable development.

Within this scenario, Ecopneus assures that every item is separated and prepared to be placed in the productive cycle again thanks to its chain. This generates a positive and measurable impact for the environment, industry and society.
