The global tyre recycling sector currently navigates a volatile landscape where geo-political instability and logistical bottlenecks intersect with a surging demand for circular economy solutions. While conflict-driven shifts in raw material flows present procurement challenges, they simultaneously offer Indian recyclers a strategic opening to diversify sourcing from high-compliance markets like US and Europe. Despite rising operational costs, the industry’s pivot towards sustainable, high-quality outputs, supported by rigorous international certifications, remains a vital driver for India’s manufacturing and infrastructure resilience.

The global tyre recycling industry is currently witnessing a mix of disruption and opportunity, shaped by geo-political tensions, logistics constraints and evolving sustainability expectations. The ongoing conflict involving the Middle East, along with United States and Israel, is influencing raw material flows in a significant way.

“The Middle East is a big part where the raw material generation is quite high, which gives a better boost to the Indian industry with regards to the import of base tyres,” said General Manager for Cross Border Procurement and Supply Chain at Dashmesh Group, Vijay Rana.

At the same time, global metal availability remains high, creating a complex supply environment.

“So this is a very challenging time and we can say it is also an opportunity for Indian companies to explore new markets where they can secure more materials,” added Rana.

Key alternative sourcing regions include United States, Australia, Europe and United Kingdom, where scrap availability remains strong. However, these markets come with strict compliance requirements.

“In those countries, there are certain norms which have real importance to comply with. If the importer is compliant, then it is not a problem. In many cases, the importer is also the manufacturer and actual user of the raw material,” he explained.

Logistics continues to play a decisive role in the industry’s performance.

“Shipping lines and water transport contribute nearly 80 percent of import-export trade, while only about 20 percent depends on air freight,” said Rana.

Rising energy costs and geo-political uncertainties are driving up operational expenses.

“This is giving the cost on the higher side, which is making the Indian industry a little slow in giving its best contribution to the economy,” he noted.

STRONG CIRCULAR PUSH

Despite these pressures, tyre recycling remains a critical segment within India’s circular economy.

“This waste tyre recycling segment is a big segment in India, giving its best contribution to the circular economy,” Rana said.

The sector supports multiple product streams including rubber granules, tyre-derived oil and related outputs.

Certifications also play a vital role in accessing international markets, particularly in Europe. "In European countries, REACH compliance and certifications are very important because people give more importance to the environment as well as human safety,” he explained.

With required certifications in place, exports are not significantly constrained.

“We have all the certifications in hand, and based on that, we do not have any challenge exporting our products to those countries,” Rana added.

Dashmesh Group has built a strong legacy in the rubber recycling industry since its founding in 2005. From its beginnings as a tyre trader to the establishment of major facilities in Gujarat, the group has scaled its production capacity significantly. Today, it is one of the leaders in sustainable manufacturing, operating with a zero-waste philosophy and holding different certifications like ISO, ISCC, KVQA and UKCERT.

The group specialises in producing high-quality crumb rubber, reclaimed rubber, rubber mulch, rubber granules, tyre pyrolysis oil and recovered carbon black. These REACH-compliant materials serve as vital, cost-effective resources for various Indian industries.

DOMESTIC DEMAND AND EXPORTS

India continues to be a strong domestic market for recycled tyre products.

“Presently, we are giving 95 percent of our finished product to the local market. Only five percent is exported,” said Rana.

Exports are currently routed largely through channel partners with some direct customers as well.

“We are more focused on increasing volumes in the export market,” he noted.

Dashmesh Group serves a diverse portfolio of industries across India, positioning itself as a key supplier for specialised manufacturing and development sectors. A significant portion of their operations is dedicated to supporting tyre manufacturing companies, providing the essential materials or components required for large-scale automotive production.

Beyond the automotive sector, the group plays a vital role in the industrial handling market by catering to conveyor belt manufacturers. These partnerships are crucial for the production of heavy-duty belts used in mining, logistics and factory automation.

Furthermore, it is actively involved in the nation’s growth through its collaboration with road infrastructure companies. By supplying this sector, they contribute to the essential materials and logistical support needed for the construction and maintenance of India’s expanding highway and transit networks.

“In terms of distribution of finished products, approximately 40–50 percent goes to tyre industries, around 25 percent to conveyor belting and rubber component industries and the remaining 25 percent to road infrastructure,” Rana explained.

GROWING ECOSYSTEM

Dashmesh Group operates continuous pyrolysis systems and quality remains central to the company’s positioning.

“Since the beginning, we have been more focused on quality because we have a recycled product. When we give the best quality to our customers, we can maintain them,” Rana said.

He noted that India’s position as a global tyre manufacturing hub continues to strengthen, which eventually fares well for recyclers like them.

Additionally, India’s size contributes to sustained demand. “It is a wide country, so there is a huge requirement for tyres,” Rana noted.

Sustainability also remains central to operations. “Around the globe, tyre generation is high and we are completely aligned towards sustainability,” he said.

Operational scale reflects this commitment as the company processes approximately 20,000 tonnes of tyres in a month. This contributes to resource conservation.

The company’s sourcing model focuses on direct engagement with global collectors. “Our main target is to connect with actual tyre waste collectors and processors outside the country as this ensures visibility and long-term alignment,” said Rana

“It gives clear visibility to both importers and exporters regarding who is involved and what the future planning is,” he explained.

Collection networks are decentralised as they gather waste from small locations and collection yards within their respective countries.

EXPANSION STRATEGY

Dashmesh Group is aggressively expanding its physical footprint to establish a truly nationwide presence. According to Rana, the company is strategically positioning itself in all four corners of India to better serve its growing clientele.

Currently, the group operates key facilities in the Sarigam Industrial Area in Valsad, Gujarat, and the Wada Industrial Area in Palghar, Maharashtra. It also maintains a strategic presence near the Nhava Sheva port to streamline logistics and export operations.

The company is now focusing on the next phase of its growth by moving into the southern and eastern regions of the country.

New facilities are currently under construction in Chennai and Haldia, West Bengal.

Current production capacity stands at 19,000 to 20,000 tonnes per month across all products. The upcoming expansion will significantly increase scale, as with the two new plants, it will add 200–250 containers per month, which is around 6,000–6,500 tonnes.

Total capacity projection is estimated to reach between 25,000 to 26,000 tonnes per month.

While global expansion is part of the roadmap, the immediate focus remains India.

“We see a lot of opportunities within the country and want to capture them first before going outside,” said Rana.

Beyond operations, Dashmesh Group is focusing on awareness and education.

“We are educating overseas suppliers on how to make these products more usable in daily applications. This is critical given rising waste volumes,” he explained.

He added, “The waste tyres on the planet are increasing day by day, and this needs to be controlled. The goal is clear, which is to provide the best solution and best destination for these materials.”

India’s tyre recycling industry is entering a painful consolidation phase as weakening export demand, oversupply of waste tyres and worsening shipping disruptions erode profitability across the value chain. While domestic consumption continues to provide partial support, falling realisations and rising logistics costs are squeezing processors of crumb rubber, reclaimed rubber, pyrolysis oil and recovered carbon black.

India’s tyre recycling industry is entering a period of consolidation as weakening export demand, oversupply of waste tyres and mounting shipping disruptions compress margins, even as long-term demand for sustainable materials continues to strengthen.

While volumes remained broadly stable during the March quarter, profitability deteriorated sharply across much of the sector as realisations fell in both domestic and overseas markets and logistics-related costs climbed, said Tyre and Rubber Recyclers Association of India President Chetan Joshi.

“Volumes were largely stable for most of us, but margins definitely came under pressure,” Joshi said. “Realisations dropped, especially in domestic and export markets, while logistics costs and delays increased. Domestic sales supported to some extent, but overall, it was more of a margin squeeze quarter than a volume issue.”

The industry is also facing a supply-demand imbalance in waste tyres driven by slowing exports of recycled products and softer downstream demand caused partly by elevated prices of finished recycled materials.

“There is oversupply due to low demand because finished product prices are high and exports of finished recycled products have slowed down,” Joshi said. “That is putting pressure on waste tyre pricing and also on end-product prices.”

The pricing pressure is now cascading across the recycling chain, affecting processors of crumb rubber, reclaimed rubber, pyrolysis oil and recovered carbon black (rCB), which are widely used by tyre makers, rubber goods manufacturers and industrial consumers.

However, Joshi said not all segments are under equal stress. Better-quality feedstock and certified recycled materials continue to command stronger pricing and more resilient demand despite broader weakness in commodity-grade products.

“Good quality and properly segregated material are still holding value better,” he said.

India has emerged as one of the world’s largest recycling hubs for end-of-life tyres because of its large vehicle parc, abundant feedstock availability and relatively low-cost processing ecosystem.

Domestic demand for recycled rubber materials has also expanded steadily in recent years as sustainability targets gain traction among tyre makers and industrial manufacturers.

According to Joshi, domestic consumption has helped cushion the sector from the ongoing export slowdown, though it remains insufficient to fully compensate for weakening overseas demand.

“India has strong domestic consumption in crumb rubber, reclaim, pyrolysis oil and rCB, so it does give some cushion,” he said. “But honestly, domestic demand alone cannot fully replace export markets, at least in the short term. We still need healthy exports to balance the ecosystem.”

Exporters are simultaneously grappling with worsening shipping disruptions that have increased operational uncertainty across several key overseas markets.

“Shipping has become unpredictable,” Joshi said. “Transit times are longer, freight and insurance costs have increased and planning exports has become difficult.”

He added that Europe, UK, the Gulf Cooperation Council region and parts of Africa are among the most affected markets because of freight-related disruptions and sluggish demand conditions.

“Even when orders are there, execution becomes a challenge,” he said.

The impact has been particularly severe for lower-value recycled products where freight costs form a larger share of overall realisations. Higher-quality and certified materials, however, have remained comparatively stable.

“Lower-value products are affected more, while higher-quality and certified materials are relatively stable,” Joshi said.

Despite near-term pressures, the long-term demand trajectory for recycled tyre-derived materials remains positive as global tyre manufacturers accelerate sustainability initiatives and seek alternatives to increasingly expensive virgin raw materials.

“The long-term trend is very clear and recycled materials are gaining,” Joshi said. “With higher natural rubber prices and sustainability targets of tyre companies, demand for reclaimed rubber, micronised powder and rCB will increase.”

At the same time, he noted that buyers are becoming significantly more selective, shifting purchasing decisions beyond price considerations towards quality consistency, certification and compliance standards.

UNIT ECONOMICS

The tyre pyrolysis industry is witnessing a sharp improvement in margins and investment sentiment as geo-political tensions in the Middle East push up crude-linked fuel prices, creating stronger demand for tyre-derived pyrolysis oil, according to Apchemi Chief Executive Officer Suhas Dixit.

The recent conflict involving Iran has emerged as the single biggest factor influencing the sector’s performance, triggering steep price increases for tyre pyrolysis oil (TPO) and reviving expansion plans across the industry after years of compressed profitability.

Tyre pyrolysis oil prices in India have climbed dramatically in recent months, rising from about INR 35–40 per kilogramme to nearly INR 60 per kilogramme, according to Dixit, reflecting stronger demand and tighter energy market conditions linked to higher crude oil prices.

Dixit said the price increase has fuelled fresh enthusiasm among investors and operators looking to expand existing facilities or establish new projects.

The company, which positions itself as a global technology and engineering player rather than a purely domestic recycler, said overseas demand remains robust despite continuing disruptions in international shipping and trade routes.

While the conflict in the Middle East and shipping disruptions around key trade routes such as the Strait of Hormuz have raised concerns about freight costs and export uncertainty for many Indian recyclers, Dixit said Apchemi remains relatively insulated because of its global operating model.

The company is currently executing multiple large-scale international projects including three 150-tonne-per-day tyre pyrolysis facilities for clients in developed markets, according to Dixit.

Even so, Dixit acknowledged that the industry remains exposed to broader geo-political uncertainty, particularly because energy prices and shipping costs directly influence the economics of pyrolysis-derived fuels.

At the same time, he believes the current environment is creating a rare opportunity for operators to strengthen profitability after years of weak returns.

On the other hand, reclaim rubber manufacturers seem to be facing renewed uncertainty as rising raw material costs linked to geo-political tensions continue to pressure pricing and destabilise downstream demand.

“Market is a little scary right now,” said a Gujarat-based crumb rubber manufacturer. The spokesperson attributed the instability largely to the ongoing tensions in the Middle East, which have triggered higher costs across the raw material chain and pushed up prices for finished reclaim rubber products.

“Reclaim rubber manufacturers are particularly vulnerable to swings in raw material pricing because margins in the segment are often thin and highly sensitive to changes in energy, logistics and waste tyre procurement costs,” he noted.

Despite the ongoing volatility, he indicated that the broader market trajectory for the current fiscal year is unlikely to differ significantly from the previous year, suggesting that industry participants may continue to operate in a challenging but manageable environment.

PULLING THROUGH

Joshi said India continues to enjoy structural advantages because of its scale and feedstock availability but warned that the industry could lose competitiveness if it fails to improve quality consistency and formalisation.

He added that the next growth cycle in tyre recycling is likely to favour companies investing in compliance, process control, certification and value-added products rather than those competing purely on trading volumes and low-cost exports.

“The opportunity is huge, but discipline in the industry will decide who benefits,” Joshi said.

Looking ahead to FY27, Joshi expects margin recovery to remain uneven across the industry with larger and technologically stronger companies likely to outperform smaller operators focused on low-margin export trading.

For India’s recycling industry, the current downturn may ultimately accelerate a broader structural transition already underway from volume-led commodity processing towards a more formalised, quality-focused and sustainability-driven circular materials ecosystem.
