Recycled Tyre Uses
50 million tyres are discarded in Australia every year. The Tyrepower group is working hard to ensure these tyres do not go to landfill through our membership of the Tyre Stewardship Program.
The small government levy on every end-of-life tyre is contributing to tyre recycling together with research into new uses for old tyres. Today there is already a wide range of usages for end-of-life tyres and tyre-derived products, including:
- Road surfacing
- Soft fall playground surfacing
- Brake pads
- Industrial and commercial flooring
- Explosives
- In civil engineering applications, and
- As fuels for energy recovery
