As a new member of the AZuR network, our PhD student Pauline Manhart attended the meeting of the project group chemical tyre recycling at Pyrum in Dillingen an der Saar. In addition to a tour of the pyrolysis plant, the group discussed various topics related to tire recycling, presented current research, and planned activities for the coming year. We are pleased to now be part of the network and always welcome the opportunity to exchange ideas across the entire value chain.
