The benefits of re-using tyres

PLAYGROUND AND SPORTING SURFACES

Our goal is Zero-to-Landfill which is founded in the belief that

everyone needs to be smarter about how they use the Earth’s

limited resources.

Our contribution to the environment is a crumb and

granule process that serves many markets. Along the way

it has put us at the forefront of tyre recycling and the reuse

of rubber products.

Here’s how we contribute to the business of playing surfaces.

RUBBER GRANULES AND BUFFINGSRecycled rubber is ideal for surface applications, particularly in

a variety of sporting and playground surfaces as well as mats.

Tyrecycle makes clean and consistent grade products that are

quality assured to meet the demands of their intended use.

About us

Tyrecycle started in 1992 as a division of a major tyre manufacturer. But today we are Australia’s leading recycler for all types of tyres, turning scrap tyres into rubber granule for use in innovative products.

Our processing and collection capabilities service every state

of Australia. This includes our head office at Somerton in

Melbourne that has the largest crumbing plant in the nation

making rubber crumb, granules, buffings and even Tyre

Derived Fuel (TDF). Incidentally, we are the only producer of

TDF in Australia that can guarantee full chain of custody for all

materials processed and supplied, ensuring that our raw

materials are used in an environmentally sound way.

And why is this important to us? Because

Tyrecycle is part of the highly regarded

integrated resource recovery group,

ResourceCo. As such we are committed

to eliminating the sending of tyres

to landfill or whole baled tyres

being sent off-shore.

Tyrecycle recycled rubber products are:

• 100 percent Australian made.

• Guaranteed a quick turnaround on orders due to significant stock holdings.

• Available for delivery Australia-wide.

Tyrecycle recycled rubber granule is a quality Australian made product produced from 100%

recycled truck tyres. It’s ideal for surface applications, particularly as athletic tracks, equestrian

surfaces, sporting fields and playground surfaces. In fact, our surface applications are suitable for

FIFA standards. So when you use our recycled rubber granule, you’re not just being environmentally

responsible, you’re also giving your surface a competitive edge.

OTHER PRODUCTSWe firmly believe that we all need to be smarter

about how we use the earth’s limited resources.

That’s why we’re continually finding new ways

going to waste and landfill.
