[redacted] Tyre Processing & Materials Recovery Facility

The challenge

End-of-life tyres accumulate faster than many small island states can safely manage. Stockpiles pose fire, mosquito, and leachate risks, while valuable rubber, steel, and fibre are lost to landfill.

How it works

A dry mechanical shredding and separation system progressively reduces tyres into graded outputs with negligible water use and no cooling systems.

• Intake and staging of end-of-life tyres
• Steel wire extraction from sidewalls
• Progressive shredding into graded crumb rubber (1–3 mm)
• Separation into rubber crumb, recovered steel, and fibre

What it produces

Rubber crumb for asphalt modification and road surfaces, athletic tracks, playground surfaces, moulded rubber products, and industrial and construction uses — plus clean recovered steel returned to metal markets.

Feedstock & environmental design

A signed NPEP supply agreement guarantees consistent Year 1 volumes, complemented by diversified overseas sourcing. Static dust collection, minimal water use, and no cooling requirements keep the facility's environmental footprint low.
