This Symposium highlights the maturation of the circular economy for tyres, underscoring a pivot from waste disposal to resource stewardship. The inclusion of global legislative reviews and EPR frameworks signals the arrival of mandatory end‑of‑life tire accountability. Technology sessions and market-growth panels show interest shifting toward commercial-scale recycling and high-grade reuse. For tyre manufacturers, policymakers and ELT professionals, the event is essential to align strategy with long-term sustainability mandates and evolving industry standards.
