According to the Director of International Business at Vipal Rubber, Leandro Rigon, “the Recircle Awards is a strong vehicle to publicise and recognise such a great activity, which is tyre retreading. There is still a lot of room for this segment to grow and contribute to our planet. Having a more attentive look to this activity is, without a doubt, a big step towards taking good care of our home”, he stated. “Our focus is to provide quality products and services with technology to meet all the necessary requirements to extend the life of tyres and have the lowest possible environmental impact”, he concluded.
