Lisbon summit showcases new uses for end-of-life tyres

Valorpneu, together with Beta-i, is holding the NextLap Tech Hub Innovation Summit on 15 June at MAAT Central in Lisbon. The event closes this year's edition of the NextLap Tech Hub programme, which develops circular solutions from used tyres, and brings together companies, startups, universities and public bodies. Partners including Infraestruturas de Portugal, TMG Auto, TMG Textiles, Genan, ACA and Procalçado posed real challenges to participants; the programme received 66 applications and produced several projects and pilot tests. The agenda covers sectors from chemicals and construction to textiles, transport and furniture.
