The Spanish tyre sector sees 300,000 tonnes of end-of-life tyres managed annually, of which approximately 75,000 tonnes are used as infill for artificial turf pitches.
The European Commission is currently considering a proposal for restricting the use of intentionally added microplastics to the environment. Possible restrictions include the application of recycled rubber from end-of-life-tyres in this application, as the particle size added to artificial turf pitches is between 0.8 and 2.5 mm. The European Commission is considering a minimum crumb size of 5mm.
