Rubber Conversion award EcoVadis Gold Sustainability rating

Verona, Italy – Rubber Conversion announced a significant milestone in its sustainability journey—receiving the prestigious Gold Medal in the EcoVadis Sustainability Rating. This achievement places the company in the top 5% of businesses globally, surpassing 95% of companies worldwide assessed by EcoVadis in the last year.

“This Gold rating reflects our dedication to create lasting, meaningful change”, said Cveta Majtanovic, Chief Sustainability Officer, “Our Sustainable Rubber Compounds® (SRC) range, derived from end-of-life tire (ELT) materials, is already being successfully adopted by leading tire manufacturers at high concentrations (>20phr) for use across various product categories (PCR, TBR, AGRI, OTR). This innovation not only significantly reduces CO2 emissions but also
ensures no compromise on product performance or tire labeling.”

EcoVadis, a global leader in sustainability ratings, evaluates companies based on four key areas: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. Achieving a Gold rating means Rubber Conversion has not only met but exceeded industry standards in these critical areas, positioning the company among the most innovative and responsible global leaders in the sustainable business landscape.

“We are incredibly proud of this achievement”, said Francesco Di Pierro, CEO of Rubber Conversion. “In an era where environmental responsibility is no longer optional, the rubber industry faces a crucial challenge—innovating rapidly and at scale to replace traditional raw materials with sustainable, recycled, and bio-based alternatives, without compromising product performance. At Rubber Conversion, we’ve embraced this challenge through our proprietary low temperature devulcanization technology, a globally patented process that is revolutionizing the recycling of postproduction and post-consumer rubber.”

To celebrate, EcoVadis will plant a tree on Rubber Conversion’s behalf through One Tree Planted, further strengthening this commitment to a greener future.
