At our tyre processing sites in Lakenheath, Peterborough, Dunbar (Scotland), Wednesbury, Oldbury, Breighton we repurpose over 20 million post-consumer tyres every year. We are the UK’s largest tyre collector and processor with national coverage. We collect, process, and repurpose post-consumer tyres so that 100% of the tyre is recycled and reused in a variety of products. From artificial turf infill and playground rubber mulch to carpet underlay and road surfaces, no part of the tyre is wasted.
