Nominees

Evonik

Nominated for partially reversing vulcanisation of rubber to a large extent by adding a special formulation containing vinyl silanes, by which the firm bonds in the recycled rubber can be split. This technology increases the volume of recycled rubber material that can be incorporated in new rubber compounds.

Regom

REGOM offers tire recycling companies around the world a solution using AI to improve the sorting of used tyres. The aim was to simplify processes, improve productivity and sorting quality. Concretely, REGOM has designed a machine integrating a camera, a profilometer, a weighing system and thanks to artificial intelligence, it can identify the characteristics of tyres (brand, model, dimensions, tread depth, load index, speed index, weight) even in difficult real conditions (damaged tyres, muddy, wet). REGOM has also developed ergonomic sorting stations allowing sorters to verify the information obtained by the machine, while offering them very good working positions.

Rover Research

By taking advantage of the same water devulcanization technology used for retreading, Rover Research has succeeded in creating a demolition system for OTR and Truck and bus ELTs. This process allows the user to obtain a devulcanized rubber powder patented for its quality, called Tiredust, and to recover steel fabrics without damaging them. The techonology works with high-pressure water – from 1500 to 3000 bar – able to devulcanize 95% of the rubber contained in the end of life OTR and truck & bus tyres. Tiredust is a premium devulcanized rubber suitable for reinsertion into the new compound from 10% to 99%. It also enjoys innovative physio-chemical properties that have opened up new possibilities in the material recovery of rubber: construction, tannery, agriculture etc.

Rubber Conversion

For developing new devulcanised technology and gaining patents in 39 different countries. Rubber Conversion’s technology creates a product that features unique mechanical, dynamic and ageing properties, making them suitable in high concentration even for high-severity applications, whether it is the production of technical articles, tyres or general rubber goods
