(Source: Solvay)Brussels/Belgium – Solvay inaugurated its new bio-circular silica facility at its plant in Livorno, Italy, marking a major milestone in Europe’s industrial transformation toward sustainability. This inauguration is part of Solvay’s global circular silica strategy, which will convert other silica production sites worldwide to use ISCC Plus certified raw material by 2026. By adopting Solvay’s circular silica, tire manufacturers can already achieve up to 15 % recycled or renewable materials in their tire composition, contributing significantly to their target of 40 % by 2030.
