Warren, New South Wales — Australian recycler Green Distillation Technologies (GDT) has warned that a new government decision to ban the export of whole end-of-life tires (ELTs) could leave the country with a “massive gap” in recycling capacity.
“The Government decision to ban exports of end-of-life whole tyres from the end of 2021 will leave Australia with a massive gap in our tyre recycling capacity,” according to Trevor Bayley, the Chief Operating Officer of tyre recycler Green Distillation Technologies.
“The Government announcement does not make an estimate of the total number of whole tyres that are currently exported as most that leave our shores are in the form of crumbed or chopped tyres and these are not included in the ban at this stage.
