The Tyre Recycling Podcast | Episode #87 | Rubber Conversion Steps Forward at The Round Trip
Francesco Di Pierro, Founder and CEO of Rubber Conversion, joins The Tyre Recycling Podcast for Episode 87 to discuss the future of sustainable rubber compounds. Recorded at the Round Trip Tyre and Conveyor Belt Recycling Summit in Melbourne, a joint event with Tyre Stewardship Australia and Tyrewise, this episode explores Rubber Conversion’s patented mechanochemical devulcanisation process. Francesco explains how this low-temperature technology promotes devulcanisation while minimising depolymerisation, resulting in high-quality raw materials that maintain abrasion resistance—a critical factor for meeting upcoming Euro 7 regulations.
Francesco also details the company's strategic partnership with the historic machinery manufacturer Comerio Ercole, which provides engineering reliability for their global expansion. He outlines the success of the "Life Green Vulcan" project with partners like Bridgestone and Stellantis, and discusses their recent expansion plans, including a capacity increase in Verona, new opportunities in the Balkans, and a newly signed licensing agreement in India. Finally, Francesco offers his insights on the European regulatory landscape, including the challenges and contradictions of the EUDR and end-of-waste criteria.
Francesco Di Pierro covers all this and more in Episode 87. So please join us as we learn all about the innovations driving the integration of recycled rubber into high-performance applications.
