ETRA is a European association promoting the tyre recycling industry.

It comprises around 250 tyre recycling professionals in 43 countries and is supported primarily through membership dues, research projects and programme sponsorship.

With a focus on material recovery, members include material producers and users, collectors, manufacturers of recycling equipment, research and training bodies, product developers and users of new technologies.

It aims to make tyre recycling an independent, multi-sectoral industry involved in activities which protect the environment and create new businesses and jobs. This involves focused advocacy and cooperative actions to improve professional standards and develop quality guidelines for products and materials.
