In 2023-24, Australia consumed about 740,000 tons of tires, according to Tire Stewardship Australia (TSA) data. About 537,000 used tyres were generated, which is more than 67 million end-of-life tires. Passenger and truck and bus tires have a combined recovery rate of 87%, while only 13% of OTR tires were recovered, and more than 100,000 tons were estimated to have been buried that year.'
Eagle International has a partnership with Waste Initiatives based in New South Whales. Their client, Veolia, has been using our OTR Debeader to tackle a project to dispose approximately 10,000 OTR mining tires.
