The European Tyre Recycling Association (ETRA) and the ASTM International partnered to help establish globally recognised ASTM standards for recycled tyre materials, from crumbs and powders through to recovered Carbon Black (rCB).
This development will be one of the subjects of presentation at the ETRA annual conference in Brussels on the March 16 to 18 2016.
“One of the biggest barriers to the development of the tyre recycling sector is the lack of a single, globally recognised standard specification for recycled rubber materials. Consumers of materials are faced with a plethora of different specifications from every producer. Producers are working towards their own best available output.” ETRA said in a news release.
