Did you catch Dr. Linda Mitchell at Circularity 2024 today? The expert panel discussion provided several key takeaways on material circularity management and the complexities of tyre design within the circular economy. Linda provided an insightful explanation of the role of material science and the need for science-based decision making in the circular economy. The challenges surrounding tyre design, especially when it comes to balancing safety, longevity, and environmental impact, highlight how interconnected various elements of the circular economy are. The discussions reinforced the importance of pushing up the waste hierarchy, focusing on reducing and reusing before recycling. Conversations like this are imperative to progression towards a circular economy. Looking forward to Circularity 2025!

While we couldn’t be there, it’s inspiring to hear of the waste hierarchy in action. Our industry must focus on reducing and reusing as priorities before recycling, and it’s great to see this being championed. We wholeheartedly support these efforts as we continue to make conveyor belts last longer and consume less energy. Every step counts!
👏👏 Love your passion for science-based decision-making for our circular economy Linda Mitchell - leading the way for important conversations that can support not only tyres but other problematic waste streams #SCICOMM #STEMLEADERS #WOMENINSTEM
