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.

The conference that never was

waste 2020

The annual Waste Conference, which is held in Coffs Harbour each May, is renowned as being one of the most popular held in Australia each year and usually attracts 600-700 attendees.

So when our Chief Operating Officer Trevor Bayley was selected as a speaker this year, we were all very pleased at the opportunity of addressing such an important audience.

But like so many such gatherings Waste 2020 has been cancelled. The organisers instead asked speakers to publish their papers on the Conference’s website, which we have done.

We have also reproduced it for you in this blog post.

crumbed rubber sportsfield

“Crumbed rubber and the purposes to which it is being used could be a future environmental disaster that will need to be cleaned up at some period by the next generation: That’s the considered opinion of our COO, Trevor Bayley. 

“It’s not something that I’m on my soapbox about, but from everything that I’ve seen I challenge anyone who considers the facts to reach an alternative opinion”.

This article is by Professor Linda Chalker-Scott from the Department of Horticulture Washington State University who is regarded as an expert in the use of crumb rubber as a garden mulch,

Although the practice is not widespread in Australia her research and remarks are relevant to the use of crumb rubber in Australia in playing fields, playgrounds and golf course pathways.

In this blog, to focus on the future problems caused by this form of recycling, we move the clock forward ten years from now to 2029….

High quality carbon is produced from old tyres by the world-first Australian process developed by Green Distillation Technologies that recycles end-of-life tyres.

This is in addition to the oil, which is an easy to refine crude that is used to make diesel, and could be further refined into jet fuel and the steel skeleton of the tyre, which either goes back to the tyre manufacturer for reuse or goes to scrap steel.
