Conveyor belts, a common waste product in Australia, are targeted for transformative recycling efforts by Tyre Stewardship Australia (TSA). According to TSA’s recent report, the company seeks to revolutionize the disposal practices of the bulk handling industry, which often sends used conveyor belts to landfill due to challenges in recycling these materials. With approximately 60,000 to 85,000 tons of conveyor belts generated annually, less than 1% are currently recycled, primarily due to their complex composition and handling difficulties.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) is proposing to grant authorisation for the Tyre Product Stewardship scheme to continue for a further 3 years.

Tyre Stewardship Australia (TSA) has presented a new innovative project that coverts scrap tires into durable, quality concrete for the Sports Turf Industry. This solution for recycled tires has been named Golfelx, the TSA reported on its social media accounts.

This application is ingeniously used in bunkers as it can improve sand bunker drainage and it has a positive environmental impact.
