Tyre Recycling

Treads Tyrepower - Kincumber is committed to supporting Tyre Stewardship Australia to promote the increase in environmentally sustainable collection and recycling processes for end-of-life-tyres. Authorised by the ACCC, Tyre Stewardship Australia explores and promotes new uses for old tyres to reduce the environmental, health and safety impacts of old, and often illegally dumped, tyres.

Tyrepower on the Central Coast only uses accredited TSA (Tyre Stewardship Australia) recyclers.

Only 5 per cent of the 51 million EPUs discarded annually in Australia are presently recycled locally. The rest are disposed to landfill, stockpiled, illegally dumped or exported overseas.

The Tyre Stewardship Scheme provides an ACCC authorised, government supported, industry framework to effectively reduce the environmental, health and safety impacts of the 51 million EPUs which reach the end of their life in Australia each year.

On the 20th January 2014, Minister for the Environment, the Hon Greg Hunt MP, joined tyre industry leaders in Melbourne to announce a new initiative to encourage sustainable use of Australia’s end-of-life tyres.

Mr. Hunt announced the formation of Tyre Stewardship Australia and the national Tyre Product Stewardship Scheme to promote the increase in environmentally sustainable collection and recycling processes and to, explore and promote new uses for and products using recycled end-of-life tyres. The scheme has the multiple benefits of transforming a waste product into useful products, creating new industries and employment opportunities while also reducing the environmental harm caused by illegal dumping.

The scheme is also designed to deliver a range of benefits for individual Participants, the tyre industry as a whole and for the community. These include:

  • increased use of a resource stream currently being disposed of as waste
  • reduction in the number of tyres not going to an environmentally sound use
  • an enhanced Australian recycling industry and sustainable markets for end-of-life tyres and tyre derived products
  • increased capacity to handle end-of-life tyres in Australia
  • creation of new markets for end-of-life tyres and tyre derived products through research and development
  • an improved business environment particularly for tyre collectors and recyclers
  • increased consumer awareness of the impacts of end-of-life tyre disposal, and
  • enhanced credibility for the tyre industry through demonstrated leadership in environmental management and adoption of corporate social responsibility strategies.

There is a wide range of usages for end-of-life tyres and tyre-derived products, such as for road surfacing, soft fall playground surfacing, brake pads, industrial and commercial flooring, explosives, or in civil engineering and for fuels for energy recovery.
