Destinations of ELT in EU27 (+ UK, Serbia, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey), expressed as a percentage of the total collected mass of ELT. Total ELT released by these countries is 3.424.500 tonnes; data 2017 [12]. * Other use of ELTs comprises use in steel mills and foundries (0.3%) as well as use as dock fenders, blasting mats (1.2%) pyrolysis (0.4%). The material recycling in cement concerns the inorganic fraction of the tyres. ** Energy recovery includes ELTs sent to cement kilns (29%) as the energy fraction of co-processing ELTs in cement kilns and ELTs used in district heating/power plants (6%); *** unknown also includes collected tyres waiting for treatment. Distribution over granulate fractions has been adopted from [30]
