Apollo Tyres and Tyromer Announces Partnership
Tyromer Inc, through its Indian associate, Tyromer India LLP, is committed to supplying recycled rubber material, produced using its environmentally sustainable processes, to Apollo Tyres.
Home-grown tyre manufacturer Apollo Tyres has partnered with Tyromer Inc, a leader in the non-chemical devulcanization of end-of-life tyres. Tyromer Inc, through its Indian associate, Tyromer India LLP, is committed to supplying recycled rubber material, produced using its environmentally sustainable processes, to Apollo Tyres.
P K Mohamed, Chief Advisor, R$D, Apollo Tyres Ltd, said “This partnership with Tyromer is a step towards achieving our sustainability goals, and it also enables us to honour our Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). Producing new tyres using sustainable raw materials, is currently the most efficient path to meet our circular economy goals.”
Commenting on the partnership, Dr Sam Visaisouk, CEO, Tyromer Inc, said “We are thankful
to the Apollo Tyres’ team for its support of our vision of direct tyre-to-tyre recycling for achieving a tyre circular economy. In the face of climate crisis, not using rubber derived from
end-of-life tyres is no longer an option.”
This partnership has validated tyre-derived polymer (TDP), produced by Tyromer’s proprietary and patented technology, as the raw material for tyres.
Tyre-derived polymer (TDP) trivia:
- Using a tonne of TDP saves GHG emissions equivalent to 4 passenger vehicles driven
for a year - Producing a tonne of TDP requires less than 2 MWh of energy, compared to over 20
MWh required for new material
