Sustainability In Motion
Scrap Tire is a Global Problem
Tire waste is a growing global problem, with over 1 billion end-of-life tires (ELTs) generated yearly. These durable, non-biodegradable materials are challenging to manage and often pose environmental and health risks. Improperly managed ELTs can lead to mosquito breeding, hazardous fires, and pollution from heavy metals and microplastics. While the EU effectively diverts most ELTs from landfills, global landfill rates range from 30-75%. Among recycling options, tyre pyrolysis stands out as a sustainable, circular solution that treats ELTs as valuable resources, reducing reliance on less eco-friendly methods like incineration or export.
Transforming Waste into Opportunity
At RD Industries, we believe in turning challenges into opportunities by creating value from waste. We are committed to making thoughtful, sustainable use of our planet's resources. Join us in shaping a more sustainable future—together, we can make a positive impact on our communities and the world.
Pioneering Sustainable Innovation
Every year, RD Industries recycles approximately 200,000 discarded tires using advanced pyrolysis technology. This process allows us to convert waste into essential materials like green oil, carbon black, and steel. These sustainable resources serve as feedstock across multiple industries, decreasing reliance on virgin raw materials and promoting responsible, eco-friendly manufacturing practices.
Why Pyrolysis?
Tire pyrolysis is a favoured technology for recycling end-of-life tires (ELTs), aligning with sustainability and climate commitments and offering a reliable regional source of secondary raw materials amid supply chain disruptions. Pyrolysis is environmentally friendly, reducing fossil fuel use, emissions, and ecotoxicity. Key benefits include reduced reliance on new fossil fuels (cutting ecotoxicity by 56.3%), lower microplastic risk, and significant improvements in human health by limiting pollutants compared to tire incineration. Recovered carbon black (rCB) also has a notably smaller carbon footprint, cutting CO₂ emissions by nearly 2 tonnes per tonne compared to virgin carbon black, and reducing particulate matter by 34% and fossil fuel dependency by 49%. Additionally, pyrolysis reduces landfill tire waste, enables integration of other wastes (like plastics), and supports circularity in the tire industry, enhancing ESG goals.
A Commitment to a Greener Tomorrow
Our mission is to minimize environmental impact by significantly reducing the carbon footprint of tire waste. By diverting scrap tires from landfills, we contribute to a cleaner environment and champion the shift toward a circular economy. Our skilled team ensures that each stage of our recycling process is efficient, safe, and environmentally responsible, making RD Industries a trusted leader in sustainable recycling.
