However, the negotiations are ongoing and the parties have agreed to meet in January 2018.

– Changes in local legislation are affecting the permit situation at the site at which Vanlead currently is manufacturing tyres and also has selected to be a joint location together with recycling of ELT. Due to these circumstances it has not been possible to finalize the contract negotiations during December 2017, says Thomas Sörensson, CEO at Enviro.
