At Tyrecycle, sustainability is built on accountability. Our Chain of Custody system provides full transparency over how tyres and tyre‑derived products are managed — from the moment they are collected through to their final end use.
We are proud to be the only waste rubber recycler in Australia that offers a complete, documented chain of custody. This system allows us to track materials at every stage of the recycling process, ensuring tyres are handled responsibly, ethically and in line with best‑practice environmental standards.
What Our Chain of Custody Means
A chain of custody is more than a process, it is a commitment to traceability and integrity.
Tyrecycle’s chain of custody documents and verifies:
Where tyres are collected – All tyres are recorded at the point of collection, ensuring their origin is clearly identified and logged. This provides accountability from the very first stage of the recycling process.
How they are processed and recycled – Each tyre is tracked through approved processing and recycling methods that meet strict operational and environmental standards. This guarantees materials are handled responsibly and consistently.
What products they are converted into – Tyres are monitored as they are transformed into recycled outputs such as rubber crumb or tyre-derived fuel. This ensures complete visibility over how waste materials are repurposed.
Where those products are ultimately used – Final destinations and end-use applications are documented to confirm materials are used as intended. This prevents diversion to landfill or unauthorised disposal and supports full lifecycle transparency.
This end-to-end tracking provides certainty that materials are not ending up in landfill or unmanaged disposal, and that recycled outputs are used exactly as intended.
End‑to‑End Tracking You Can Trust
Our systems allow us to track tyres and tyre‑derived products across the entire lifecycle, including:
Rubber crumb used in manufacturing and infrastructure applications. This includes products and projects that benefit from durable, recycled rubber materials.
Tyre-Derived Fuel (TDF) supplied to approved energy recovery facilities. These facilities are selected to ensure energy recovery is carried out in a controlled and compliant manner.
Every stage is supported by strict internal controls, documented procedures and detailed reporting. This ensures accuracy, consistency and full accountability across our operations.
Data, Documentation and Reporting
Tyrecycle maintains comprehensive records that provide clear visibility over waste volumes, material movements and final destinations. Where required, we can supply verified reports to customers, partners and regulators, supporting compliance and sustainability reporting obligations.
This documentation gives our clients confidence that their tyres are being managed responsibly and in accordance with environmental and regulatory requirements.
Supporting a Circular Economy
Our chain of custody plays a critical role in advancing Australia’s circular economy. By tracking materials from collection through to reuse, we ensure valuable resources are recovered, repurposed and kept in productive use for as long as possible.
This approach reduces waste, lowers environmental impact and supports more sustainable supply chains across industries.
A Commitment to Best Practice
Tyrecycle’s chain of custody reflects our broader commitment to:
Environmental responsibility – We prioritise practices that reduce waste and minimise environmental impact across all operations. Every stage is designed to support sustainable outcomes.
Industry leadership – Our systems set a benchmark for transparency and accountability within the tyre recycling sector. We lead by example through best-practice processes.
Continuous improvement – We regularly review and refine our processes to improve efficiency, traceability and environmental performance. This ensures our systems evolve with industry standards.
Compliance with relevant standards and regulations – All activities are aligned with applicable environmental and regulatory requirements. This provides assurance to customers, partners and regulators alike.
By combining operational expertise with transparent reporting, we provide our customers with assurance, trust and confidence — not just in our recycling outcomes, but in the integrity of the entire process.
