In times of growing environmental impact, rising energy costs, and increasing resource scarcity, it is more important than ever to use available raw materials sustainably and circulate them multiple times within the economy. Cutting-edge production technologies for tire manufacturing—and especially the recycling of end-of-life tires—play a key role in this effort.

In 2023, international companies active along the entire value chain of tire production and recycling joined forces to form the Zeppelin Sustainable Tire Alliance (ZSTA). Together, they are advancing innovative technologies that make tire manufacturing and recycling more sustainable and efficient.

Each partner is a specialist in its respective field and offers customized solutions for end customers. Zeppelin Systems contributes its expertise in the integration of diverse technologies and processes from a holistic perspective—serving as a bridge builder and system integrator in the tire-to-tire production cycle. The technologies and processes offered cover both material and chemical recycling, enabling the production of recyclates that can be reused in new tires and many other products. In many cases, these technologies can also be integrated into or retrofitted into existing plants.

Together with the strong partners of the Zeppelin Sustainable Tire Alliance, we are the ideal solution provider and leading system integrator in the industry for sustainable tire production.
