Mr. VK Misra, Technical Director, JK Tyres & Industries Ltd. expressed that contrary to the global scenario, we do not have any waste tyre and every kg is consumed in various processes in India. The important aspect is proper use of end-of-life tyres which are environmentally friendly. We need to collectively plan steps to ensure this and find solutions to hurdles to which we are expected considering not an organized process. While it is important generalize disposal of waste tyres, it is even more important to recover raw material from these which would be true circularity. Currently, in India the recovery is very limited and we need to work towards getting support from the government. A lot of work is happening to recover carbon black, a key material for the rubber industry and polymer as well. This is the area which requires large investment with various adequate technology.
