MT-Rex system is designed to handle large earthmoving vehicle tyres, the ones that are used
primarily in open pit mines. These tyres are not currently included in the disposal cycle for re-use,
with rare exceptions.
These tyres are normally stacked and buried in disused areas of mines, generating pollution and
environmental damage.
This is because the cost of transporting them to recycling plants is too high, which is due to the
size of the tyres. If, for example, we look at the situation regarding the larger tyres, a properly
equipped truck can transport no more than 2 tyres.
Thus, it is necessary to find alternative solutions, also to adapt to global regulations requiring certification of disposal of worn tyres for each new tyre placed on the market
