Tyrecycle has expanded its service offering to mining companies, with the ability to now recycle conveyor belts, including at its East Rockingham and Port Hedland facilities in Western Australia.
Alongside its work with the mining industry to recycle its end-of-life tyres, Tyrecycle is also able to tackle another once-problematic waste stream – conveyor belts – providing sustainable outcomes and a convenient service for mining companies.
Tyrecycle Head of Trading, Mining & Strategic Development Ashley Battilana said it was exciting to now be providing efficient pathways for the sustainable management of conveyor belts from Australia’s mining industry.
“Our team has worked really closely with the mining industry to develop a pathway to efficiently and sustainably manage their end-of-life conveyor belts,” he said.
“When you consider the sheer amount of conveyor belts mining companies go through, it makes sense to collaborate on developing sustainable options for disposal.
“We look forward to continuing to grow this service offering for mining companies to ensure this challenging waste stream is safely managed.”
Battilana highlighted the mining industry’s willingness to work with Tyrecycle in driving the push for more sustainable outcomes for conveyor belt waste.
“Mining companies recognise the importance of managing their waste streams responsibly, and we’re here to work alongside them to deliver sustainable outcomes,” he said.
“They know that responsible management of conveyor belt waste, like their end-of-life tyres is an important part of best practice operations.
“The mining sector has been eager for a solution to the management of this waste stream, and Tyrecycle is providing them that solution.”
