In 2023, Italy led European production of reclaimed rubber, producing approximately 382.44 million kilograms, significantly higher than Germany's 29.633 million kilograms and France's 19.877 million kilograms. Romania, Portugal, Spain, and Hungary followed with much lower production volumes. While most countries reported minimal growth, Italian production surged by 53.1%, and France saw an increase of 14.69%. Germany and Romania had slight increases of around 2.59% and 2.69%, respectively.
Looking ahead, the focus will likely shift toward sustainable and high-performance rubber materials, driven by increased demand from automotive and manufacturing sectors. Enhanced recycling technologies and policies encourage innovation in rubber reclamation.
