Earlier Report Observations
From 2018 to 2021, the market volume for retreaded tyres in Croatia declined from 27.3 thousand units to 23.2 thousand units. This period saw the implementation of Croatia's Waste Management Plan 2017–2022, which set an 80% recycling target for separately collected waste tyres, stimulating investments in tyre waste management systems. Technological advancements, such as the installation of a devulcanization line by Gumiimpex GRP in 2018, improved the mechanical recycling of tyres, supporting the production infrastructure.
The market rebounded to 26.7 thousand units in 2022, driven by a record collection of 26,500 tonnes of waste tyres that exceeded EU recycling targets and the commissioning of a new devulcanization line at Gumiimpex-GRP. However, volumes contracted again in 2023 and 2024, falling to 23.3 thousand units, as recycling capacities reached their limits, requiring further investment. Regulatory developments, including the mandatory application of EU Tyre Labelling Regulation 2020/740 in 2024, introduced new performance and labelling requirements affecting the market.
