From Waste to Resource: The Journey of a Recycled Tire

Recycling end-of-life tires (ELT) is a complex industrial process that turns a highly polluting waste product into a functional one. At Ecocur, this process is key to producing high-performance recycled rubber tiles.

It all begins with the collection and sorting of discarded tires, which are then mechanically shredded into rubber granules. This material goes through a cleaning and filtering system that removes impurities such as steel wire and textile fibers. Next, it is mixed with eco-friendly binders and molded under controlled pressure and temperature to form each tile.

The result is a tough, flexible, durable, high-quality product suited to a wide range of applications, from public spaces to sports and industrial areas.

Beyond the visible result, this process represents a direct contribution to the circular economy. Every tile stands for tires that were neither buried nor burned, but instead returned to the production cycle with added value.

Recycling tires is not just an environmental solution, it is an industrial opportunity.
