Trederra and Tyre Recycling Solutions introduce footwear outsole rubber made from recycled tires
29 August 2024
Trederra, a provider of sustainable material recycled rubber solutions for the footwear market, announced an exclusive supply agreement with Tyre Recycling Solutions (TRS) of Switzerland supporting the production of Trederra footwear outsoles made from end-of-life tires.
TRS will supply Trederra with CT-50 rubber powder which is manufactured using the patented TRS Water Pulse technology, a proprietary and highly specialized water-jet system that pulverizes tire tread into fine powder. This powder is derived from 100% end-of-life tires diverted from landfills and is free from steel and synthetic fibers.
Trederra LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MatMarket LLC, utilizes an Asian-based manufacturing supply chain process to incorporate the rubber powder into its Trederra rubber compound for work and performance footwear outsoles.
Trederra rubber compounds are used to produce a masterbatch of 67% recycled content that enhances durability without compromising performance or comfort. Integrating directly into an exisiting supply chain, Trederra rubber compounds can be used to create outsoles with over 40% recycled content without sacrificing performance and meeting Restricted Substance List (RSL) requirements.
