The following is a media release from Environmental Clean Technologies Limited (ASX: ECT).
ECT and GDT have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to create a commercial grade end-of-life tyre resource recovery plant at Bacchus Marsh in Victoria.
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.

Government recycling laws have just passed the senate and it is big news for Australian tyre recycling technology.
The new recycling laws bring in a waste export ban to Australia.
We can no longer ship our plastics, tyres, paper, glass and cardboard to other regions. Our waste is now our responsibility.
Australian tyre recycler Green Distillation Technologies, which has developed technology that will turn end-of-life tyres into high value oil, carbon and steel, will expand the capacity of their plant at Warren in Western New South Wales with the installation of an additional processing module.
Australian tyre recycler Green Distillation Technologies, which has already developed world-first technology that can commercially and economically turn end-of-life tyres (ELTs) into high value, oil, carbon and steel, can now take the carbon raw material and turn it into hydrogen.
A survey conducted by Keep Australia Beautiful in August 2020 has found that although there was overall agreement that the disposal of end-of-life tyres is a worldwide environmental problem, a significant majority did not know what happens after they are left with the retailer to be recycled.
Australian tyre recycler Green Distillation Technologies, which has developed world-first technology that turns end of life tyres (ELTs) into high value, refinery-ready oil, carbon and steel, believes the time is right for them to expand into the European market.
Australian tyre recycler Green Distillation Technologies, has developed a
world-first process that turns End of Life Tyres (ELT’s) into high value oil,
carbon and steel, and despite the coronavirus pandemic looks forward to a strong future with international growth as it consolidates agreements in three key markets.
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.
