My company is recycling used tires. How can I declare myself to EcoShinUnion?
Fill out the form on our website. Our employee will contact you within 1-2 business days and provide the necessary advice.
How does EcoTyreSoyuz interact with tire processors?
Every year, EcoTireSoyuz holds a competition among used tire recyclers in order to place volumes to meet the standards for recycling waste from used tires.
Each recycler known to us individually receives a notification about the start of the competition (read how to declare yourself to EcoTireUnion if you are a tire recycler, read here).
During the competition, we carry out a thorough check of the constituent, accounting and environmental documentation received from processors, in accordance with the Rules for the competitive selection approved by EcoTyreUnion. According to the results of the competition, tire processing companies are selected for cooperation, the documentation of which is provided in full and meets the requirements of the current legislation of the Russian Federation.
Benefits of cooperation with EcoTireUnion
EcoTireUnion was established by well-known international manufacturers and importers of tires that have been working on the Russian market for a long time - Bridgestone, Continental, Hankook, Michelin, Nokian Tires, Yokohama - and at the moment is the largest association in the field of organizing the process of recycling tires and interacting with key Russian processing companies.
The Association actively stimulates the development of existing respectable tire processors, paying for their services for the disposal of used tire waste in the amounts determined by the standards approved by the Government of the Russian Federation, creating a constant, growing from year to year, solvent demand for their services.
Along with the unconditional financial and organizational benefits of cooperation with EcoTireUnion, we offer recyclers to become part of a whole system for recycling and handling used tires, a transparent system for collecting, transporting and recycling tires, a system that, with a conscious approach from all involved parties, is designed to improve the ecology of our country!
What companies does EcoTireSoyuz work with?
EcoTireSoyuz is an association of major tire manufacturers and importers that works with dozens of recycling companies across the country. Recyclers often ask us how to become a member of the EcoTireUnion, but only manufacturers and importers have this opportunity.
And recyclers are our reliable assistants in the performance of extended responsibility. Not every company can become a partner of EcoTireUnion. To do this, you need to have a license and operating equipment for disposal, strictly comply with the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation and pass a competitive selection.
Where to donate old tires?
The existing waste tire collection points, from which they will definitely be sent for recycling to our reliable recycling partners, are marked on the EcoTyreUnion map. We have been working on building an all-Russian collection system for more than 5 years, much has been done, but much remains to be done. If you have not found a collection point in your region, follow the news on our website and VKontakte - new collection points appear regularly.
Why am I not paid for recycling tires?
Mainly because it is not profitable. Relatively few raw materials for recycling can be obtained from passenger tires and it is more difficult to separate them: due to the large part of the impurities in the composition, several purification steps are required.
Therefore, without external support, it is much more profitable for recyclers to recycle truck tires. In order to collect cars from citizens, investments are needed in logistics, storage at collection points, notification and informing the population, as well as coordination with the authorities. And all the efforts for the sake of tires, which in the end will give much less raw materials than trucks. Therefore, the collection of car tires for recyclers is a social project that not everyone can afford. EcoTireSoyuz organizationally and financially supports the initiatives of recycling partners to create special tire collection points, and also serves as the initiator of their appearance throughout the country.
How dangerous are crumb rubber coatings, because used tires are waste of hazard class 4?
Not dangerous at all! First, all metals are removed from tires during recycling. Secondly, the coating is laid on a special base - concrete or asphalt, and does not come into contact with the soil - this eliminates contamination.
Thirdly, the coatings have a certain service life, after which they are dismantled and again sent for recycling. More details are here.
How many used tires are there in Russia?
According to EcoTireUnion, about 800,000 tons of waste tires are produced in Russia annually. And the volumes accumulated to date are approximately equal to 12.5 million tons.
