TSA has opened Round 4 of its Market Development Fund, with applications available from September 1 to October 6 for projects that increase real-world use of Australian tire-derived material. The fund offers grants of up to $300,000 for eligible applicants across Australia and supports projects that move tire-derived material from concept to practical market use. TSA says the program is designed to build stronger long-term demand for material recovered from end-of-life tires by backing product innovation, infrastructure trials, local manufacturing and applied research. The fund is open through two streams: Demonstration & Infrastructure Projects and Research & Development. Supported activities must use Australian-sourced tire-derived material and demonstrate commercial, environmental or community value.

The Mining Cleantech Challenge is a product-innovation showcase that connects technology providers with mining companies, investors and suppliers. Selected finalists are chosen through a competitive vetting process and receive an opportunity to pitch their technologies live, gain executive feedback and explore partnership and commercialization pathways. The 2026 event took place on August 27 and focused on technologies that can improve mining sustainability, efficiency and profitability. Colorado Cleantech said the program is open to companies from any geography or stage, provided their technology can address mining or mineral processing challenges.

Marangoni used the podcast to explain how his experience in retreading can support his work as President of EcoPneus. Retreading is closely linked to waste prevention because it extends the life of suitable tire casings before they become end-of-life tires. According to the episode summary, Marangoni also discussed how he manages potential conflicts of interest between his leadership in the retreading sector and his role in an EPR consortium responsible for broader tire recycling and recovery outcomes.

The report, titled Review of Regulatory and Licence Requirements for the Management of Waste Mining Tyres in Western Australia, New South Wales & Queensland, assessed how waste mining tires are managed under current regulatory and licensing frameworks. It focused on major Australian mining states where large OTR tires are widely used and where end-of-life management can be complex because of tire size, remote mine locations and established on-site disposal practices.

The Australian Tyre Recyclers Association (ATRA) has released a new video highlighting opportunities to improve the recovery and recycling of off-the-road mining tires in Australia. ATRA said new opportunities are available for miners and OTR tire manufacturers to increase resource recovery and direct more mining tires into established recycling pathways. Kelman said ATRA members are able to collect tires from mining regions across Australia and process them into materials and products for domestic use and export.

Operating in the Moscow region since 2012, the company is described as the country’s largest tire recycler and currently employs more than 300 local residents. According to Ekaterina Zinovieva, Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Moscow Region and Minister of Investment, Industry and Science, over ₽1 billion was invested in 2025 to expand collection infrastructure and related facilities. The new oversized tire processing line alone required ₽200 million in capital expenditure.

A comprehensive new report released today by Tyre Stewardship Australia (TSA) has found that Australia's tyre circular economy will not grow without mandatory participation in a product stewardship scheme. The Tyre Supply Chain Analysis: Opportunities to grow Australia's circular economy for tyres report identifies critical constraints across the entire tyre supply chain that are preventing Australia from meeting its circular economy targets.

Tyre Stewardship Australia (TSA) reports that Australia’s mining sector is beginning to play a more active role in advancing tire recycling initiatives, addressing one of the most complex challenges in the circular economy: the management of massive off-the-road (OTR) mining tires at end of life. TSA has highlighted Rio Tinto’s recent tire recycling trial as a strong example of how innovation and commitment can unlock new solutions for mining tires, which are notoriously difficult to process due to their size, steel content, and remote operating locations.

In Episode 85 of The Tyre Recycling Podcast, Tommaso Verri of RubberJet Group discusses the company’s high-pressure water-jetting technology, presented during the Round Trip Tyre and Conveyor Belt Recycling Summit in Melbourne. The process uses kinetic energy to delaminate tyres, producing wire-free, high-surface-area rubber powder as an alternative to conventional ambient shredding.
