A new Bobcat TL43.80HF Waste Expert telescopic loader has provided the ideal solution for Gatim Srl, a company based in Calabria in Italy, that is a leader in the recycling of end-of-life tyres (ELT) and rubber.
Secured by La Nordica Macchine Srl, the new Authorised Bobcat dealer in Calabria, this is the first sale in Italy of a Bobcat Waste Expert telescopic loader.
Recent important developments have produced strong growth in the market for recycled ELT in Italy.
Approximately 400,000 tonne of ELT is produced every year in the country through the scrapping of vehicles and spare parts. The country’s Minister of the Environment passed an "End of Waste" Decree specifically for recycled ELT rubber in April 2020.
This provision definitively recognizes the recycling of ELT as a cornerstone of the circular economy for tyres in Italy. The Decree is aimed at increasing the share of ELT destined for material recovery, improving the quality of the recycled materials and supporting the development and investments in companies in the ELT recycling chain.
