Tyrecycle has launched a new off-the-road (OTR) tyre recycling facility in Port Hedland, strategically positioned to enhance the recycling of mining tyres in the region.

According to Tyrecycle, establishing a new facility in Port Hedland is not without challenges, including how to manage operations amongst the harsh weather conditions of the Pilbara.

Working with DomeShelter Australia, Tyrecycle’s team members and bespoke OTR tyre recycling equipment will be covered by a purpose-built structure, built to withstand all weather conditions.

Operations Manager at Tyrecycle’s new Port Hedland facility, Kane Goldsmith, said the structure allows Tyrecycle to be front and centre in the heart of the country’s busiest mining region, while also providing a safe environment for staff.

“We’re really proud of this new site, working closely with mining companies, we’ve developed a facility that safely and sustainably manages end of life OTR tyres, right on the doorstep of this leading mining region,” he said.

“Working with DomeShelter Australia to erect the dome has been a rewarding experience as our Tyrecycle staff can focus solely on handling and processing these mammoth tyres in a safe and controlled environment.

“At Tyrecycle we are committed to providing the best possible working environment for our staff and the dome has done just that in a part of Australia known for its particularly extreme weather.”
