Illegal tyre exports stopped at the border

Australian Border Force, alongside the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, has intercepted 10 shipping containers of tyre waste being illegally exported to Malaysia.

This is a reminder of why responsible, onshore processing matters. Operators who cut corners not only risk heavy penalties, but they also undermine the environment and the businesses doing the right thing.

At CTS Tyre Recycling and Throughcycle Rubber, we go further than just recycling:

– We keep tyres onshore and process them to Australian standards
– We provide full traceability and compliance for our partners
– We transform any size of waste tyres into innovative new products such as playground surfacing, equestrian arenas, gym flooring, rubber mulch, acoustic underlay and even roads.

Choosing the right partner means your tyres don’t end up in illegal exports, they come back as high-value, sustainable products that support Australia’s circular economy.
