Taking forward its commitment to Sustainability, Apollo Tyres has
partnered with Tyromer Inc, a leader in non-chemical devulcanisation of end-of-life tyres.
Tyromer Inc, through their Indian associate, Tyromer India LLP, is committed to supplying
recycled rubber material, produced using its environmentally sustainable processes, to
Apollo Tyres.
Announcing the partnership with Tyromer, 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 the sustainable raw materials, is currently, the most efficient path to meet our circular
economy goals.”
Apollo Tyres and Tyromer share a deep commitment to sustainability and social responsibility.
This partnership has validated tyre-derived polymer (TDP), produced by Tyromer’s proprietary
and patented technology, as the raw material for tyres.
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.”
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
