Spanish tire collective TNU argues green public procurement is the missing lever to create stable demand for recovered carbon black, recycled rubber and retreaded tires.

Tire Circular Economy

TNU says tire recycling alone is no longer enough to complete the circular economy unless recovered materials return to the market and replace virgin raw materials. In an article by Javier de Jesús Landesa, Operational Director of Tratamiento de Neumáticos Usados, the Spanish collective system argues that public procurement can become one of the strongest tools for creating stable demand for materials recovered from end-of-life tires.

Spain already has a consolidated tire management system and an industry capable of converting used tires into rubber, steel, textile fibers and other secondary raw materials. However, TNU says the main challenge is now commercial and industrial: recycled rubber, retreaded tires, recovered carbon black and other tire-derived materials need markets large enough to absorb them and recognize their technical, environmental and economic value.

Building Demand for Recovered Carbon Black

TNU’s call for green public procurement is a clear signal that the tire circular economy now depends on commercial demand for recovered materials — the exact markets Klean Industries helps operators reach.

Klean Industries has delivered recovered carbon black plants worldwide, including multiple facilities in India, helping recyclers produce rCB that meets industrial quality and performance requirements.
