Blackcycle won the 2023 RecircleAwards, that annually recognise the contribution of companies and individuals within the tyre manufacturing, retreading and recycling industries towards the Circular Economy.

This award recognizes the excellence of the work done within the project blackcycle and its results that will greatly contribute to the circular economy.
Jean-Michel Douarre, Michelin Coordinator the Project says:
“We are extremely proud of that award. It is a recognition of the collaborative and innovative work of the team made of 13 entities. We have collectively managed to solve a lot of difficulties and get outstanding results. This award is pushing us to go even further until the end of the project in June 2024 to make the tyre circular economy a reality »
