Our new facility is nearing completion, with the installation and commissioning of the primary tyre recycling line scheduled over the next two weeks thanks to the efforts of the on-site team from Danish industry leader ELDAN Recycling A/S.   The ELDAN Recycling A/S plant is a state-of-the-art installation, turning waste tyres into crumb rubber, tyre derived products and reusable high tensile steel wire.   The Neerabup facility will be a first for Australia to include a “pre-shredding” process to enable complete on-site recycling of the largest “Off The Road” (OTR) tyres of the type and size used on massive haul trucks across the mining industry.   The company has also purchased advanced rubber moulding equipment to produce a range of high-value speciality rubber products, including acoustic underlay and a range of rubber matting suitable for soft-fall flooring, equestrian surfaces, farm matting, gym matting, load restraint matting and other uses.   See more at our website https://lnkd.in/gv3QuvDq # Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water # Department of Water and Environmental Regulation # Tyre Stewardship Australia # Reece Whitby # Tanya Plibersek #Sustainability #Recycling #TyreRecycling #TireRecycling #GreenFuture #Innovation #CircularEconomy #OTRTyres #OTRTires

What if waste could power our roads, sports facilities, and industries? It actually can, and we know how. At Tyrex Resources, we’re proud to champion the innovative recycling of tires, turning what was once waste into essential, practical solutions that benefit our communities and environment. ♻️ Recycled tires in road construction: Since the 1960s, tires have been used as asphalt binders, creating more durable, long-lasting roads while reducing tire friction and improving highway performance. 🏃 Sports facilities love crumb rubber: This ultra-robust material offers athletes cushioning that reduces joint impact, prevents shin splints, and stands up to all-weather conditions. Quick-drying and anti-freezing, crumb rubber is sustainable and efficient. 🔥 Tire-Derived Fuel (TDF): As the Environmental Protection Agency reports, 130 million tires are turned into TDF annually, offering an 8% cleaner and more economical alternative to coal. This benefits industries from cement production to electric utilities, cutting the need for fossil fuels. #wastemanagement #scraptires #tirerecycling

We recently supplied a cyclone for the first commercial scale up for a really innovative Portuguese-American company, BB&G. Used tyres are shredded and fed to a gasifier with 3 products as the outcome, in a perfectly circular process: 1.⁠ ⁠Syngas – that is used to heat the system directly; 2.⁠ ⁠Biofuel – with low Sulfur content and so high commercial value; 3.⁠ ⁠Carbon Black – rCB with low organic volatiles and so high commercial value. This project is aligned with recycling goals across the board in the tyre market, with Continental aiming to introduce at least 10% by 2025. Bridgestone and Michelin plan to use 30% by 2030 and Pirelli double that. Our high performance cyclone allows for maximum collection of the carbon black and simultaneous cleans the syngas. To face the 550C operating temperature, it was built in SS316L and insulated with mineral and rockwool under an aluminium cladding. #hightemperaturecyclones #HighEfficiencyCyclones #AdvancedCycloneSystems #Carbonblack #carbonremoval

Today is #EarthDay 🌍🌱 and what better way to celebrate it than an inspiring story about one of our customers! ♻️ 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐥𝐲𝐰𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐭 Last week, we delivered 5 new Combilift C4000E electric forklifts to our much-valued customer, Hanson Plywood Ltd in Halifax. This upgrade marks a significant milestone in their commitment to sustainable operations. By transitioning from LPG to electric-powered trucks, Hanson Plywood are now benefitting from... 💚 𝐙𝐞𝐫𝐨 𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Helping them reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to cleaner air. 💚 𝐋𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐬: Eliminating the need for expensive LPG refueling. 💚 𝐀 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: C4000E operates with much less noise and vibration, ideal for environments where noise levels need to be minimised.

Rubber Fender Disposal: A New Industry Solution from Trelleborg Marine & Infrastructure Are your old, used fenders accumulating in the port scrapyard? Let Trelleborg Marine & Infrastructure support you with sustainable disposal solutions, promoting eco-friendly port operations and advancing your journey toward circularity. Disposing of fenders at the end of their useful life has long been a challenge in the industry. Due to their large size and the difficulty of breaking them down for recycling, after-used fenders often end up in landfills—an unsustainable solution, as they are non-biodegradable and remain in the environment indefinitely. Trelleborg Marine & Infrastructure(TMI)has identified an innovative facility capable of breaking down entire fenders in an eco-friendly manner. Using Advanced technology broken or used fenders are placed directly into a reactor where high heat separates their components. The process converts rubber into combustible oil and recyclable carbon, which are repurposed for other rubber products, while steel components are reclaimed for reuse. With this breakthrough, TMI is now equipped to help clients sustainably dispose of their fenders, integrating them into the circular economy and reducing the carbon footprint of port operations. For more information on this sustainable solution, please contact your local TMI sales team or office. #Circularity #Circulareconomy #RubberFenders #endoflifefenders #Trelleborg

Watching recycling processes can be mezsmerising, much like gazing into a winter campfire 🔥. For example, this neat example of a Ballistic Separator separating by shape from our partner BRT HARTNER in a recent Eggersmann Anlagenbau GmbH MRF facility.....we particularly like the simple yet effective butterfly chute system for spreading the in-feed across the width of paddles..... BRT Hartner's range of ballistic separators are market leaders in terms of size, robustness & reliability. Give SKALA a call on +61 2 4905 0650 to discuss how these units can enhance 3D separation of recyclable materials in your operation. #Eggersmann #BRTHartner #recycling #resourcerecovery #wasteless #MRF

How do our tubs last 12-15 years in such a demanding environment? Our tubs are crafted from robust PE plastic, designed to withstand the toughest conditions at sea and in processing plants. For the past 40 years in Dalvik, Iceland, Saeplast has been perfecting the technology behind our tubs. Continuous collaboration with the commercial fishing industry has led to structural improvements that stand the test of time and weather. We take pride in supplying durable, fully recyclable tubs that not only endure but also keep catches in pristine condition, ensuring quality from sea to shore. Our commitment goes beyond durability; each tub is fully recyclable, supporting the circular economy and reducing environmental impact. We are proud to equip the fishing and processing industries with containers that push the limits of durability and sustainability. #Sustainability #Innovation #FishingIndustry #iTUB #DurableGoods #Recycling 

Amidst the current nervousness in freight markets for 2024, there is a noticeable increase in the number of vessels being put up for recycling sale. This surge in activity is confirming the industry's anticipation of a sudden influx of tonnage to ship recyclers. #MarinerNews #MaritimeIndustry #ShippingNews #Shipping #Maritime #ContainerNews #ShipRecycling
