Turning tyres Into opportunity

The environmental importance of upcycling tyre rubber and A1 Rubber's leadership in the field.

- 

Australia faces a growing challenge in managing end-of-life tyres, with over 67 million passenger-tyre equivalents discarded each year. Improper disposal not only takes up valuable landfill space, but also poses serious environmental and health risks. Upcycling tyre rubber — the process of transforming end-of-life tyres into useful products — offers a sustainable, innovative solution that keeps resources out of landfills while creating valuable materials for everyday use.

Environmental value

Tyres are built to be durable, but that same resilience makes them problematic once they're no longer in use. Upcycling circumvents these issues by transforming tyres into products like playground flooring, sports surfaces, and even roads and infrastructure.

Upcycling can help conserve natural resources and can also contribute to the circular economy by keeping valuable materials in use longer and reducing the need for virgin rubber.
