No more tyres to landfills !

Finally a company has arrived that can stop end-of-life tyres ending up in New Zealand’s landfills. Carbon Recovery Ltd can collect and process your scrap tyres into a reusable resource. No longer will we need to shred and landfill millions of tyres every year in New Zealand. Tyres are often viewed as a problem waste product and in New Zealand that equates to around 14,000 needing disposal every day or just over 4 million per year. That’s a lot of tyres and an enormous amount of potential energy and useful products being thrown away.

Here’s what you can do to help:
