Waste Stream
Mechanical Recycling
Thermo-mechanical Recycling
Thermo-Chemical Recycling
Plastics
Tyres
Recycling Processes
The mechanical recycling process is when the waste resource is processed mechanically to form usable resources;
The thermo-mechanical Recycling process is when the waste stream undergoes both mechanical and thermal treatment to obtain higher value resources.
The thermo-chemical Recycling process is when the waste stream is thermo-chemically broken down and reformed to obtain higher value resources.
The synthesised resources produced from the thermo-chemical process can be further processed to produce;
Urea
Road surfacing
Electronic components
Long-life batteries
Virgin Plastic
Carbon fibre
Water purification systems
Synthetic Diesel
All plastics and tyre recycling systems will conform to Australian Standards and the Environmental Protection Act 1994 and Recycling and Waste Reduction Act 2020.
