Our mission is to reduce tire pollution globally by collaborating with tire manufacturers, regulators, and recycling companies to develop more durable and sustainable tires and recycling practices. Akin Solutions utilize niche mass spectrometry imaging methods novel to the tire industry to characterize molecules such as rubber polymers, fillers, and antiozonants in tires. Current analytical methods in the industry provide either structural or spatial information on ingredients, never both. Additionally, current methods cannot measure certain ingredients altogether. To image/analyse highly complex rubber polymers, we developed a rubber-breakdown enzyme, which we will also release as a standalone product in 2026. We aim to take our enzyme development further and adapt our protocols for use in rubber recycling. Growing evidence of widespread tire pollution, increasing demand for a sustainable supply chain, and consumer expectations are pushing tire manufacturers to implement significant changes to the composition of their materials and implement improved recycling approaches. Akin’s molecular image services and rubber degrading enzymes provide novel information regarding the distribution of tire ingredients, advancing tire development, and our rubber degrading enzyme will transform rubber recycling processes.
