The Process

Australians generate around 56 million Equivalent Passenger Units (EPU) annually. Approximately 20 million of those are processed by Tyrecycle.

Tyrecycle holds long-term relationships for collection services with the major tyre manufacturers and retailers. We work with local councils and mining companies to ensure as many end-of-life tyres are recovered and processed, diverting them from landfill. 

Tyrecycle collects over 150,000 tonnes of end-of-life (EOL) tyres and conveyor belts annually for repurposing at one of our 7 secure facilities. Find out more about how these products are re-used here.

Tyrecycle repurposes complex, high-quality products for domestic and international use. Repurposed waste tyres are used across a wide range of products further progressing the circular economy. These include TDF, road construction, athletic and playground surfaces, tile adhesives and moulded products.

Passenger & Light Truck Tyres

Australians generate around 56 million end of life passenger tyres annually. Approximately 20 million of those are processed by Tyrecycle.

Off the Road (OTR) & Conveyor Belt

In Australia, about 20 million OTR tyres expire annually, far too many of which are still being disposed to landfill, either in shredded or whole form. Their size, construction and invariably remote location make their disposal or reuse difficult and expensive.

Ancillary Collection

Tyrecycle not only collects scrap tyres. We can collect other materials which are sent to licensed recycling facilities all across the country.
