The rubber compounding arm of the HEXPOL Group has announced an investment in a devulcanization line in Europe. This allows them to offer mechanical devulcanization of rubber in-house and supports the transition to a circular economy.

This results in a raw material base for producing new rubber parts and demonstrates that rubber can be recycled.
