It was very familiar to Australian car owners in the 50s and 60s, particularly if they had to take the tyre off the rim to repair a puncture.

vintage car tyre

A tyre with an inner tube was universal in the days when car tyres were made by the bias-ply method.

It was so called because the layers of rubberised cords were embedded in the rubber in alternating diagonal layers at a 55-degree angle to the rim.

But that technology was replaced by the radial method of tyre construction which are steel-belted with the ply cords radiating at 90-degrees to the wheel rim.

old tyres ready to be recycledYou may think an end-of-life tyre must be an old tyre and vice versa.

While that is often the case, there are some notable exceptions.

The sizes of tyres also vary considerably, which is why there is a standard measure that allows us to more easily calculate the recycling value of any end of life tyre. Read More

GDT joins the organisation that is setting the international standard for carbon

Tyre recycler Green Distillation Technologies has joined the prestigious ASTM International, an organisation that sets international standards for materials and is currently working on setting a standard for carbon derived from recycled sources.

ASTM memberOriginally founded in 1898 as the American Section of the International Society of Testing Materials it grew out of the need to set a standard for the steel in railway lines after frequent rail breaks began affecting public confidence in the railway industry.

As well as the original office in Pennsylvania, today it has branches in Washington DC, Belgium, Canada, China and Peru and has set the standard for more than 12,500 materials. Read More

tyre lifecycleCommercial operations and academic researchers alike are discovering that breaking down a vulcanized tire into materials of a high-enough grade to use in new, high-quality car tires is no easy task.

Elements of tires are traditionally recycled into playgrounds, roads and concrete.

More recent possibilities include hard plastics, coatings, ceramics and paper.

slide6-bg“No one knows just how many end-of-life car and truck tyres there are in Australia, but what we do know is that they are an environmental scourge,” says Craig Dunn the CEO of an Australian company that has developed a world-first process for recycling old tyres into oil, carbon and steel.

Green Distillation Technologies is currently commercialising their technology which recycles end of life (ELTs) tyres into saleable commodities of carbon, oil and steel and are now moving to full production with an $8 million upgrade to their original test processing facility in Warren, Western New South Wales with plans for six more plants in Australia.

New environmental solutions will provide the jobs of tomorrow

It is becoming a cliché to say that the jobs of tomorrow will come from technologies that have not yet been invented and it is also true to say that many of these jobs will come from solutions to environmental problems that mankind has created.

One new world-first Australian technology has emerged to solve a massive worldwide environmental problem, what to do with end-of-life car and truck tyres.
