In a groundbreaking circular economy initiative spanning 27 EU markets, we conducted comprehensive stakeholder mapping and engagement plan to support the implementation of innovative tire recycling technology. This strategic approach enabled to maximize support of a successful social license to operate (SLO) across multiple European territories.
