Graphite is expected to become the next major bottleneck in the production of battery packs for electric vehicles (EVs). Some industry players are already experiencing tightness and the situation is expected to worsen.

We're in a great position to help by upgrading GDTC carbon gained from end of life tyres to graphite using a number of developing technologies in conjunction with our partners.

Media Release: We just signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Environmental Clean Technologies Limited to develop a tyre recycling plant at Bacchus Marsh site.

The obvious synergies with ECT make this an exciting proposition for both of us.

All the products from our process need to be cooled to ambient temperature for collection and sale. The energy released is ideal for collection and consumption within ECT's COLDry process to support drying operations.

News has broken that the India waste tyre importation looks like it will end rapidly.

It appears India’s Waste Tyre Importation Ban is imminent, as the Indian Government acts to ban waste tyre importation.

This is a global waste tyre shakeup affecting Tyre collectors, Tyre Retailers, Tyre Importers, State Governments, Miners and the Australian Federal Government.

India’s National Green Tribunal considers fast action. GDT scales up.

Media Release: India Closes the Door to Waste Tyre Imports India’s Waste Tyre Import Ban appears imminent, as the Indian Government acts to ban end of life tyres through its ERP Scheme draft document.

Illegal dumping of old tyres continues around the world. This story is from the UK, including a proposed solution to stop any incentive for shady operators to make money.

The merits of the idea of a levy paid to Government are there but need serious deliberation amongst all parties concerned. The government, manufacturer, consumer, collector/recycler all need to be involved for it to become a viable idea.

Illegal tire dumping continues in the United Kingdom | Weibold – Tire Recycling & Pyrolysis Consulting According to official estimates, tire fly-tipping is on the rise in England and Wales. Kwik Fit's communications director, Roger Griggs, said: "There is absolutely no excuse for an end-of-life tire to be fly tipped. Tire dealers must ensure that used tires are dealt with by a registered waste compan...

Dr Denis Allan Randall, the technical genius behind the GDT Destructive Distillation process that turns end-of-life tyres into oil, carbon and steel, sadly passed away on 6th January 2022, after battling a number of health issues over recent years.

Denis was active in the business up to the end, participating in team calls and discussions, sometimes with good humour, sometimes impatience.

He was a very good teacher and our team have been able to use their own knowledge and experience to build on the technology originally developed by Denis.

All that remains is for us who remain to fulfil his dream and complete the Warren plant and to continue his wish to see more plants around Australia and the world turning waste tyres into
highly valuable commodities, in support of his vision and the circular economy.

To quote his beloved Gilbert and Sullivan (W.S. Gilbert)
“Is life a boon?
If so, it must befall
That Death, whene'er he call,
Must call too soon.”
