Recover More Value from Europe’s End-of-Life Tyres
 
Europe has made significant progress in managing end-of-life tyres, with collection and treatment rates rising from around 25% in the mid-1990s to approximately 97% today. However, high collection rates have not yet resulted in equally high levels of material recycling. Of the three million tonnes of ELTs generated in the EU each year, only about half are mechanically recycled, while much of the remainder is used for energy recovery.
ENERPAT provides ELT recycling equipment that helps you recover more value from every tonne of end-of-life tyres. Our modular shredding, steel separation and rubber granulation systems can be configured around your tyre types, required capacity and target output, helping you produce consistent rubber materials and recovered steel for downstream reuse.
From Single Machines to Integrated Solutions​​​​​​​
How to Address Tyre Recycling Challenges in Europe?
ELT collection systems, regulatory requirements and downstream markets vary across European countries. Your recycling equipment therefore needs to match not only the tyres you process, but also your capacity, target output, site conditions and local operating requirements.
ENERPAT provides complete ELT recycling equipment for every stage of tyre handling and material recovery, from tyre balers and twin-shaft shredders to steel separation systems, rubber granulators and complete tyre recycling plants. Each system can be configured around your feedstock, throughput and required material specifications, allowing you to start with a standalone machine or build a modular production line that can expand as your business develops.
Choose the Right Equipment for Your Target Output
Whether you need transport-ready tyre bales, tyre shreds, clean rubber feedstock or rubber granulate, ENERPAT can match each processing stage to your material and downstream market.

Key Policy Challenges for ELT Recycling in Europe
  • Fragmented End-of-Waste Criteria​​​​​​​
    The EU has not yet established harmonised End-of-Waste criteria for recycled tyre rubber. Different national rules create uncertainty over material classification and cross-border trade.
  • Limited Demand for Recycled Materials​​​​​​​
    Europe still lacks sufficiently clear mandatory recycled-content targets for tyres and rubber products. Recyclers therefore face continued competition from virgin materials and unstable demand.
  • Changing End Markets​​​​​​​
    EU microplastics restrictions will phase out rubber granulate infill for synthetic sports surfaces. Recyclers need more flexible production systems to serve construction, asphalt, moulded rubber and other applications.
  • Stricter Waste Shipment Controls​​​​​​​
    European policy is moving towards tighter controls on exports of waste tyres and tyre shreds. This creates opportunities for local mechanical recycling but also increases traceability and documentation requirements.
How ENERPAT Helps
ENERPAT provides modular shredding, steel separation, screening and granulation systems that can be configured around your target output. This flexibility helps you improve material recovery, maintain more consistent product specifications and adapt as European regulations and downstream markets evolve.
ELT Recycling Process
  • Step 1: ELT Collection and Sorting
  • Step 2: Tyre Shredding
  • Step 3: Steel Wire Separation
  • Step 4: Crumb Rubber Granulation
Valuable Materials Recovered from End-of-life Tyres
Through mechanical recycling, you can transform ELTs into marketable rubber, steel and textile fractions for use across construction, road infrastructure, metal recycling and rubber manufacturing.

FAQ
  • Q: Which tyre recycling equipment does my business need?
    Created with Sketch.
    形状 Created with Sketch.
    A: The correct configuration depends on your tyre types, required capacity and target output. Baling supports storage and transport, shredding produces tyre shreds, while rubber granulate production normally requires shredding, steel separation, screening and granulation.
  • Q: Can ENERPAT equipment process truck, agricultural and OTR tyres?
    Created with Sketch.
    形状 Created with Sketch.
    A: ENERPAT can configure equipment for passenger, light commercial, truck and selected oversized tyres. Large or heavily reinforced tyres may require pre-cutting, sidewall cutting or de-beading. The maximum tyre dimensions and construction must be confirmed before equipment selection.
  • Q: What outputs can the recycling plant produce?
    Created with Sketch.
    形状 Created with Sketch.
    A: Depending on the selected stages, the plant can produce tyre bales, tyre shreds, steel-reduced rubber, rubber granulate, recovered steel and textile fibre. Rubber powder requires an additional fine-grinding stage.
  • Q: Can I produce different rubber granulate sizes?
    Created with Sketch.
    形状 Created with Sketch.
    A: The final size depends on the granulator, screen configuration and number of processing stages. Adjustable screening allows the system to be configured around different downstream material requirements.
  • Q: Does the equipment guarantee End-of-Waste or REACH compliance?
    Created with Sketch.
    形状 Created with Sketch.
    A: No machine alone can guarantee regulatory status. Compliance depends on feedstock composition, process control, laboratory testing, documentation, intended use and the rules applied in the destination market. ENERPAT equipment can support more consistent processing and material preparation.
  • Q: Can I start with standalone equipment and expand later?
    Created with Sketch.
    形状 Created with Sketch.
    A: Yes. You can begin with primary shredding or another required processing stage and later add steel separation, granulation, screening or material-cleaning modules.
  • Q: What information is required to configure a solution?
    Created with Sketch.
    形状 Created with Sketch.
    A: Please provide your tyre types, maximum tyre dimensions, required throughput, target output size, available space, power supply and intended downstream application. ENERPAT will use this information to recommend a suitable configuration.
