💡🔓Breaking down barriers to the safe recovery of one of Australia’s most valuable resources🌎💪 Off-The-Road (OTR) tyres that have reached their end of life are challenge for mining companies. They’re built to last and are often located in remote areas so distance can be seen as a costly challenge. But the cost:benefit equation starts tipping the return on investment scales when viewed in a circular economy framework and you see the value at the other end. That’s exactly what the Rio Tinto Closure, Procurement and Project Management teams did to find a better way to remove the 800 tonnes of used tyres and conveyor belts from its closed Argyle Diamond Mine site in Western Australia. The task was made possible through rigorous logistics planning in collaboration with CARROLL ENGINEERING SERVICES. It is a real-world demonstration of how collaboration between OTR rubber product users and recyclers can move through perceived barriers to solutions for the recovery and reuse of waste rubber products. Rio Tinto continues to investigate alternative options for managing its waste. It is applying circular thinking through understanding technology options and end-market uses, whilst enhancing its procurement practices.
