The West Australian Newspaper reports that one of the mining industry's lesser known environmental issues has finally found a solution with the opening of a $20 million-plus recycling factory in Jandakot.

Chile's Ministry of Environment published the first decree linked to Law 20,920 in January 2021, which states that by 2030, all tires on mining trucks with 45-inch or larger tires must be recycled 100 percent. The gradual implementation of tire recycling in mining must start in 2023.

The machinery of the Italian tire recycling equipment supplier Salvadori will be used to ensure operations of tire downsizing, and recycling of about 30,000 tons of earthmover tires per year. The Michelin Group selected Salvadori Srl as the supplier for the downsizing system. This new-generation tire recycling plant is to be built in Chile; currently it is under construction in collaboration with Enviro, a Swedish company that has developed a patented technology for recycling tires into recover carbon black, oil, steel and gas using pyrolysis method. The plant will be based in Chile’s Antofagasta region. Salvadori's tire recycling technology will be used specifically to reduce the tire into pieces of predetermined dimensions which will then be further processed in the factory.

This May, Salvadori – on of the leading technology providers in the field of tire recycling – revealed about its new partnership with Rubberosion and the State of Colorado in the United States, which helps tackle the end-of-life tire recycling problem in Colorado. Below, we are citing Salvadori’s press release. Rubberosion Inc. is referred to as one of the leading providers of value-added end use rubber products for stormwater and erosion control in the United States. Its business began with a vision: find a solution to Colorado’s end-of-life tire problem, which was large tire dumps, one which irrupted in a major tire fire, turning what was considered as an environmental problem into an environmental solution. Over the years, its distribution network grew together with the market demand for their products. To meet the increased production volumes, they started looking for solutions that could help them improve their manufacturing process.

For many years, tire recycling industry and business worldwide could not design economical solutions to efficiently recycle end-of-life off-the-road (OTR) tires. While OTR tires consist of high-quality natural rubber, one of the challenges in recycling them was transport. Huge size and weight of OTR tires do not allow transporting these tires easily and, as a result, these end-of-life tires used to be buried in quarries and on mining sites. Today, new technologies and innovations in engineering design give us hope that OTR tire recycling will soon become a common practice.

This article tells how Salvadori – the renowned provider of tire recycling solutions and recycling technologies – helped American OTR tire manufacturer efficiently recycle their end-of-life products. Off The Road (OTR) tires usually pose a huge challenge for companies when it comes to their recycling – OTR tires up to 51 inches in diameter previously were not easily downsized. The question was, how to take advantage by turning waste into something of value.
