Using substitute fuels such as end-of-life tyres allows our cement works to reduce their consumption of fossil fuels, imported from often far-flung countries, thus playing a part in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and developing energy transition throughout the country. We know we can count on the reactivity and reliability of Aliapur to deliver shredded or whole tyres year round, satisfying the specifications of the factories.

[Vicat is an international cement manufacturer that was founded in the Isère département. The company has 160 years of experience, and has almost 8,000 employees in 11 countries. In 2018, Vicat Circulère was created: by transforming waste from building sites and reintegrating it into innovative, responsible products, it is now a question of participating in a new, sustainable development of spaces]

The Union of Tyre Professionals (Syndicat des Professionnels du Pneumatique) came into being in 1929 and groups together the different key players in the sector in France, including 200 specialist points of sale. Among our members, we also have the main tyre manufacturers, particularly Aliapur’s shareholders: this is thus a strong partnership that has been put together in a logical manner between our two organisations.
We need to remind users that tyres are highly technological products that deserve the very greatest respect. And in a context of heightened sensitivity to ecological and environmental matters, we should also remember that the sector has been organised in such a way as to make the life cycle of a tyre as virtuous as possible. We are thus in perfect harmony with the recycling sector which respects its obligations in an exemplary manner every year.
