End-of-life tyres are one of Australia’s priority waste streams, creating both a significant recovery challenge and an opportunity to generate value through recycled products such as crumb rubber.
This Material Matters webinar will explore how products made from recycled crumb rubber are being used in infrastructure applications, and the role they can play in increasing demand for recycled materials across the infrastructure sector.
Australia generates 537,000 tonnes of used tyres each year. Of this, 66% is recovered, however only 26% finds new life through reuse or recycling. This presents a significant opportunity for the infrastructure sector to help create demand for products manufactured in Australia using recycled crumb rubber.
Attendees will gain insights into:
- the role of crumb rubber in addressing Australia’s end-of-life tyre challenge
- infrastructure applications and performance characteristics of crumb rubber products
- funding opportunities available to support uptake
- examples of products manufactured using recycled crumb rubber and how they are being applied in practice.
Whether you’re involved in design, engineering, procurement, sustainability, project delivery or policy, this webinar will provide practical insights into this priority waste stream and its potential to support the delivery of purposely greener infrastructure.
