Yashraj Bhardwaj, Co Founder and CSO, Plannex Recycling, and Arthur Wagner, Director, REGOM, outline AI driven sorting, X ray detection, and traceable data systems aligned with EPR compliance and Digital Product Passport requirements
Plannex Recycling has partnered with France based tyre solutions company REGOM to build a closed loop tyre recycling model in India focused on traceability, automation, and compliance readiness. The collaboration aims to establish a structured “From Tyre to Tyre” ecosystem that keeps end of life tyres in productive use for longer.
The partnership comes at a time when India’s tyre recycling industry faces labour shortages and operational inefficiencies linked to manual sorting. Inconsistent classification limits output quality, while hidden contaminants such as batteries, TPMS sensors, and metal rim fragments damage shredders, cause unplanned shutdowns, and create fire risks. The absence of structured digital traceability also exposes recyclers to Extended Producer Responsibility compliance risks, including unverifiable credit claims.
