BUILDING
ON 11 YEARS OF TYRE RECYCLING IN THE EU
Wednesday through Saturday 24 - 27 March 2004
Europa Crowne Plaza Hotel, Brusels
Sponsored by
The European Tyre Recycling Association

The Conference Theme : Tyre Recycling A European Industry
The theme of the 11th Annual Conference draws from the recognition
that during the last de-cade tyre recycling emerged as a commercially
viable, environmentally sound industry in Europe. Tyre recycling
fulfils a strategic Community goal towards sustainable development
by transforming a priority waste stream into a valuable resource
which yields a broad range of cost-effective materials that are
used in an expanding array of civil engineering, construc-tion and
rehabilitation applications as well as myriad industrial and consumer
products.
After an introduction to the status of tyre recycling in the Member
and Candidate States, the sessions will focus on a specific sector
of the market – the materials, applications and/or products
– or demonstrate how you can participate in the opportunities
still available in this multi-sectoral, dynamic industry.

BUILDING

About the Conference Sponsors
ETRA, the European Tyre Recycling Association, is the only European
organisation devoted exclusively to tyre and rubber recycling. Initiated
on 21 January 1994 as a result of the ETRA conference, officially
registered on 23 September 1994 with 19 members in 5 countries,
ETRA now has ±250 members in 46 countries including each
of the 15 Member States and the majority of Candidates.
ETRA
membership reflects both the public and private sectors involved
in the environ-mentally sound disposition of post-consumer tyres.
Policy and decision makers as well as those charged with organising
and connecting the links in the valorisation chain are represented.
With a focus on both material and energy recovery ETRA members inclu-ude
collectors, manufacturers of recycling equipment, research and training
institut-ions, project and product developers, as well as those
who process post-consumer tyres into standardised materials and
those who use those materials in an expanding array of products
and applications.
The
Mission of the association is to formalise Tyre Recycling as an
independent, multi-sectoral industry involved in a long chain of
activities which protect the environment and enhance the quality
of life. This is accomplished through a focused advocacy and co-operative
actions to improve professional standards and to develop quality
guide-lines for products and materials. A principal goal is to assist
in the realisation of cost-effective as well as environmentally
sound tyre recycling projects and programmes.
The
mechanisms include exchanges of information and experience at conferences,
seminars, workshops and study tours as well as with printed materials
including a quarterly newsletter, monographs, reports, etc., which
discuss new and advanced technologies, collection and sorting systems,
funding sources, and job availability, as well as problems, issues
and pitfalls. Study groups are formed on current topics of interest
and concern to the industry and provide direct assistance to members
about efficient systems of tyre recycling.
ETRA
is recognised by the European Commission as the organisation representing
tyre recycling in Europe and participated in the EU Recycling Forum
and in the prep-aration of the UNEP Basel Convention ‘Guideline
for the identification and manage-ment of used tyres’. In
2000, ETRA initiated a CEN Workshop Agreement for the standardisation
of post-consumer tyre materials and representative applications.
The final CWA was published in May 2002. and evolved to prEN14243
in November 2002. The Swedish Standards Institute is the Secretariat
of the Technical Body that is contin-uing the work towards an EN.
ETRA
members subscribe to a ‘Sustainable Development Charter’
for the environmen-tally sound management of post-consumer tyres.
The
study tour includes visits to a minimum of four tyre recycling
facilities in Northern France, Belgium and Holland. It offers an
opportunity to see various recycling processes in actual operation.
Participants have an opportunity to meet with company staff, ask
ques-tions and discuss the marketplace. Meals, snacks and over-night
accommodation are included.
Wednesday : Pre-conference activities
Recyclers’ Speak-out
Scheduled just prior to the General Assembly Meeting, it is an open
forum for informal discussion among the delegates concerning the
current status of the industry and the issues that are being confronted
by recyclers and users. Issues addressed during the speak-out may
be presented at the General Assembly Meeting for further discussion
and action.
The Annual General Assembly Meeting : The GAM is an opportunity
for ETRA members to take an active role in developing short and
long term association policies and objectives and to have a say
in the activities and research that will be pursued during the coming
year. New research projects will be proposed. Officers are elected
to lead the organisation through the next three years.
Other activities during the week
The Technology Forum :In its 11th year, the forum opens the floor
to participants to discuss innovations they have introduced and
the issues/obstacles they have overcome along the way. Many technologies
which are currently entering the mainstream were first introduced
during these sessions.
The Exhibition :In its fourth year, the Exhibition is open throughout
the conference with 15 stands and display areas sponsored by material
producers and users, equipment manufacturers and suppliers. Conference
receptions and coffee breaks are offered in the Exhibition area.
The Poster Show : The show includes brief displays of innovative
developments in the field which may also be presented and discussed
during the Technology Forum. Viewing is throughout the conference
period.
Saturday : Post-conference activities
ETRA Working Groups : Working groups investigate specific topics
of critical interest to the industry. Current groups include : Definition
of the paramenters of post-consumer tyre materials, the definition
of waste, new markets, roads and sport surfaces. Group 1 will prepare
a research proposal for the study of zinc oxide leachates. Pre-registration
is required for participation in the project
