In Episode 73, Ewan Scott explores REGOM’s tyre identification technology and its relevance in both European and U.S. markets. Arthur Wagner of REGOM shares insights into their data reading systems, which are already active on 12 lines across Europe, and their role in improving tyre logistics and traceability. Although the system still requires visual inspection, it supports enhanced waste accountability for manufacturers and contributes to labour efficiency—offering value beyond Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes. Wagner also reflects on the industry’s transition toward RFID solutions and REGOM’s position within that evolution.
