26 million old tyres are disposed of each year in Australia alone

This creates a massive problem for our environment

Cleanly Recycled Tyres – A World Technology First

Green Distillation Technologies has achieved an Australian world technological breakthrough by effectively and profitably recycling end of life car and truck tyres (ELTs) into saleable commodities of oil, carbon and steel.

End of life car and truck tyres are a blight on the environment ever since they were invented over a century ago, because until now no means had been found to effectively and economically recycle them.

Grinding up old tyres to make crumbs or flakes is not a means of recycling tyres as the rubber has not been changed and there is a limit to how much of this material can be used for kindergarten playgrounds and soccer fields and using it as a furnace fuel in Asia creates noxious greenhouse damaging emissions.

As well as the environmental problem caused by dumps of old tyres or illegally discarding them in bushland and waterways, after rain they become a breeding ground for mosquitoes and a source of such dangerous diseases as Dengue and Ross River Fever.

However, using a technique known as destructive distillation, Green Distillation Technologies is able to convert this wasted resource and an environmental hazard into high demand valuable raw materials.

The process is emission free and the recycled oil is used as the heat source for the production process.

One GDT tyre recycling plant can process about 685,000 tyres per year (assuming an average mix of car and truck tyres). This equates to approximately 19,000 tons of recycled car tyres, recycled into oil (33%), carbon (47%) and steel (20%).

Media Release: India Closing the Door to Waste Tyre Imports

Globally, India has long been seen as somewhat of a dumping ground for ‘End of Life’ Tyres (ELT’s).

Tyre recycling in India has been significant, however it is focused on older pyrolysis technology that, in many cases, is not environmentally sound.  In addition to this, containers are currently being turned back from Indian ports and are also being abandoned.

Contentiously, large scale disposal in landfill is common.

The Indian Government’s, National Green Tribunal has been considering a ban on waste tyre imports for some time, and industry expectations was that it could be a decade away.

As part of GDT’s Destructive Distillation process of recovering raw materials from end of life tyres, we produce carbon.

We are excited to have made a further step in refining our recovered carbon, which should make it directly usable in the rubber industry in due course.
