Ambipar develops new project for recycling used tires

Ambipar Waste to Energy, a company that is part of the multinational environmental management group Ambipar, is developing an action focused on reverse logistics for tires that are no longer in use. The initiative includes the collection and transportation of tires to treatment units, ensuring the closest environmentally appropriate final destination. The project follows the guidelines of Conama Resolution No. 416, which determines that manufacturers and importers of new tires, with a unit weight greater than 2 kg, must collect and properly dispose of the material without usefulness within the national territory.

For the operation, Ambipar manages its procedures through a waste management software, consisting of seven stages: tracking, collection and weighing, centralization and standardization, report generation, document control, generation of Waste Transportation Manifest (MTR), and registration of Final Waste Destination Certificate (CDF).

“The treatment will be carried out through shredding and co-processing in clinker kilns of unserviceable tires in all operating regions. Co-processing ensures full compliance with PNRS, CONAMA 416, and Normative Instruction No. 9 of Ibama (Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources) regarding the treatment of unserviceable tires,” explained Rodrigo Bürger, director of Ambipar Waste to Energy.

Ambipar is a Brazilian multinational with a presence in 18 countries in South America, Europe, Africa, North America, and Antarctica. Ambipar Waste to Energy is the group’s arm that focuses on the valorization of waste through processes and technologies, transforming this material into energy.
