About us Tyrecycle started in 1992 as a division of a major tyre manufacturer. But today we are Australia s leading recycler for all types of tyres, turning scrap tyres into rubber granule for use in innovative products. Our processing and collection capabilities service every state of Australia. This includes our head office at Somerton in Melbourne that has the largest crumbing plant in the nation making rubber crumb, granules, buffings and even Tyre Derived Fuel (TDF). Incidentally, we are the only producer of TDF in Australia that can guarantee full chain of custody for all materials processed and supplied, ensuring that our raw materials are used in an environmentally sound way.

Our goal is Zero-to-Landfill which is founded in the belief that everyone needs to be smarter about how they use the Earth s limited resources.
