Recycled rubber is perfect for the construction of road surfaces, enhancing their performance, significantly reducing road noise and extending the life of our roads by making them more durable and sustainable. As part of our commitment to sustainable road construction, Tyrecycle supports the use of eco-friendly road construction materials that reduce landfill, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and promote the circular economy.
Recycled Rubber Crumb Asphalt (RCA) and spray sealing account for about 25% of the Australian recycled rubber market. Crumb rubber is widely adopted in asphalt pavement applications and recognised by the Australian Road Research Board for its benefits in improving road infrastructure across Australia.
| Features | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Controlled processing and storage conditions guarantee <0.8% moisture in all of the Tyrecycle rubber crumb products. | Able to be delivered to a fixed processing facility or mobile batching location. |
| Product flows more readily through feed systems. | Tyrecycle rubber crumb is produced from 100% recycled truck tyres with negligible fibre content. |
| Eliminates downtime from bridging and blockages. | Tyrecycle rubber crumb is produced through 4 stages of magnetic separation to ensure it has zero steel content. |
| Minimises wear on plant and equipment. | Delivery can be tailored to customer sizing and quantity requirements. |
| Largest producer and stock holdings in Australia keeping spray sealing and road making projects fully supplied. |
Our products support sustainable practices and help divert waste tyres from landfill, turning them into high-performance construction materials for roads.
Tyrecycle can supply in a broad range of packaging configurations 10kg plastic bags (these bags will dissolve and are designed for use in asphalt plants), 25kg paper bags, 900 -1,000kg bulk bags. These eco-friendly materials allow greater flexibility across infrastructure projects using innovative construction techniques and sustainable materials.
Crumb rubber is produced by processing old tyres into fine granules, which are then added to asphalt pavement mixes. It improves the durability and flexibility of road surfaces, reduces road noise, and enhances resistance to temperature fluctuations, supporting green roads built with sustainable practices.
Yes. Tyrecycle’s rubber crumb is manufactured in Australia under strict quality control and meets specifications recognised by the Australian Road Research Board and road authorities. The material is approved for sprayed seals, asphalt production, and other civil applications requiring high durability.
Crumb rubber is suitable for asphalt roads, sprayed seals, permeable pavements, and in situ stabilisation projects. It can be used in both existing roads and new infrastructure builds, offering improved drainage, durability, and resilience against temperature fluctuations and heavy vehicle traffic.
