Tyre derived fuel provides an alternative energy resource to replace fossil fuels such as gas, coal or oil in industrial applications such as cement kilns, electricity generation or industrial process heat. Over the years, Tyrecycle has successfully produced TDF as an alternate fuel for Domestic and International use. TDF supports the shift towards renewable energy technologies by offering an alternative to fossil fuels.
Our full chain of custody and strict testing and control regimes mean our customers can be guaranteed to receive fuel that consistently meets high quality standards and is produced in accordance with environmental regulations.
This includes approvals obtained by the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) and Councils. Tyrecycle’s onsite laboratory has been established for day-to-day monitoring of product quality. The production process ensures environmental compliance and aligns with clean energy principles across Australia’s renewable energy sector.
It is estimated that 150,000 tonnes of fuel generated avoids 174,000 tonnes of CO2e compared to brown coal. This is equivalent to 37,286 cars off the road for a year. TDF plays a critical role in reducing carbon emissions and offers environmental benefits.
End-of-life tyres present as both a waste management challenge and an opportunity for resource recovery. TDF presents a better comparative greenhouse outcome over the use of fossil fuels such as coal and fuel oil.

TDF is used in place of fossil fuels in cement kilns,and other energy-intensive operations. With a high heat value, it reduces the need for traditional energy sources like fossil fuels, lowering carbon emissions in the process.
TDF helps avoid landfilling of waste tyres and significantly reduces carbon emissions compared to fossil fuels. It offers any alternative that supports sustainable waste management and decreases reliance on natural resources for energy generation.
Industries such as cement manufacturing, power generation, and industrial processing benefit most. These sectors use TDF to reduce energy costs, manage energy demand, and meet environmental goals while maintaining a consistent energy supply with fewer carbon dioxide emissions.
