What Tyrecycle does
Tyrecycle is Australia's oldest, largest, and only national tyre collector and recycler, founded in 1992-1993 and operating as a subsidiary of ResourceCo Holdings Pty Ltd. The company runs 9 secure processing facilities across South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, and Tasmania, including the East Rockingham site (40,000+ tonnes annual capacity, opened May 2024), the Port Hedland OTR facility (30,000+ tonnes, opened February 2025), and the Erskine Park plant ($10M investment, opened December 2021). Tyrecycle collects over 120,000 tonnes of waste tyres, OTR mining tyres, and conveyor belts annually, processing approximately 20 million equivalent passenger units.
The company's core technology stack includes shredding, granulation, cryogenic grinding, and pyrolysis to separate rubber, steel, and textile fractions. Differentiated assets include Australia's only fully documented Chain of Custody tracking system, the country's first T-Rex OTR tyre cutter from Salvadori Recycling installed for large mining tyres, and a co-developed InfinitySeries conveyor belt with Fenner Conveyors that uses locally recycled content in a closed-loop mining solution. Downstream products include Tyre Derived Fuel (TDF) for cement kilns and energy generation, rubber crumb for road construction, athletic and playground surfaces, tile adhesives, and moulded rubber products, plus ancillary collection of batteries, rims, and tyre weights.
The business model combines multi-year B2B collection contracts with major tyre manufacturers, national and independent tyre retailers, local councils, and mining enterprises (Alcoa, Dampier Salt, Fenner Conveyors, Motorsport Australia) with direct product sales to construction, manufacturing, and energy customers and a consumer pickup/drop-off channel. Pricing is quote-based under multi-year contracts and not publicly disclosed. The company is accredited by Tyre Stewardship Australia and holds AS/NZS 14001:2015 and AS/NZS 45001:2018 certifications, with ISO 9001 in progress.

Tyrecycle competitors and assessment
Company assessmentOthers
- ResourceCo: Parent company of Tyrecycle and one of Australasia's largest integrated resource recovery groups. Comparable because it operates adjacent waste-to-product streams (construction materials, alternative fuels) that overlap with Tyrecycle's TDF and recycled rubber product portfolio.
Direct peers
- Liberty Tire Recycling: North America's largest tyre recycler, processing more than 110 million tyres annually into crumb rubber, TDF and other products. Directly comparable as the closest large-scale, multi-product tyre recycling peer to Tyrecycle.
- Genan: Europe's largest end-of-life tyre recycler operating six plants across Denmark, Germany and Portugal producing rubber granules, powder and steel for downstream applications. Comparable because of similar vertical integration from collection to multi-product output.
Emerging players
- Scandinavian Enviro Systems: Swedish tyre-recovery company commercialising pyrolysis to recover carbon black, oil, gas and steel from end-of-life tyres. Comparable as an emerging technology peer targeting the same OTR and passenger tyre feedstocks with a higher-value downstream proposition.
- Lehigh Technologies: US-based producer of micronised rubber powder from end-of-life tyres for performance-modified asphalt, coatings and rubber goods. Comparable because it competes directly with Tyrecycle's rubber crumb and rubber powder products in road construction and manufacturing end-markets.
- Tyre Recycling Solutions (TRS): European technology provider focused on devulcanisation of end-of-life tyres into high-grade recovered rubber. Comparable as an emerging adjacent player whose technology could compete with Tyrecycle's crumb rubber output for downstream moulded product and asphalt customers.
Broad incumbents
- Cleanaway Waste Management: Australia's largest waste management company, operating solid waste, liquid waste and resource recovery services nationally. Comparable as a broad incumbent that intersects with Tyrecycle in tyre/waste collection and recycling at scale.
- Bingo Industries: Australian waste and resource recovery operator (acquired by Macquarie Asset Management). Comparable because of overlapping national collection networks and downstream recycling infrastructure that could include tyre streams.
- Veolia Australia and New Zealand: Global environmental services operator with a large Australian waste management and resource recovery footprint. Comparable as a broad incumbent competing for the same enterprise waste contracts and downstream recycled-product customers.
Regional players
- Re-Matt: Canadian OTR and large-format tyre recycling specialist using mobile and stationary processing. Comparable as a regional peer addressing the same OTR mining tyre segment that drives Tyrecycle's highest-growth customer relationships.
