On 23rd June we hosted our webinar ‘How to produce TDF (Tyre Derived Fuel)’, in partnership with UNTHA UK.
Tyre Derived Fuel (TDF) is one of the most mature resources in the global Energy from Waste (EfW) market, but longstanding processing challenges mean millions of tyres continue to be overlooked for their resource and profitability potential. However, tyre shredding is no longer a dangerous, high wear or uneconomical process – quite the opposite in fact! This troublesome waste can become an important part of the environmental jigsaw, as tyre processing systems are now designed with profitability in mind.
UNTHA’s approach to tyre recycling and tyre derived fuel production has been a big hit in the UK, so we invited them along to share their expertise and help transform opportunities for operators here in Australia too.
As part of this straight-talking and information packed webinar, director of global business development at UNTHA UK Gary Moore demonstrated what’s possible when handling end-of-life tyres, and delved into whether they can become an industry hero. TDF is gaining traction globally, and in this one-hour session, he shared exactly why the industry is getting so excited.
“Tyres are still considered by many as a tricky and costly waste stream to process, however new innovation has changed what is possible. Acknowledgement of the resource potential in tyres is only going to grow – and quickly,” says Gary.
The virtual event covered:
- The untapped possibilities in the tyre recycling landscape
- How to design a modular tyre shredding line
- Must-know TDF specifications
- Building a TDF manufacturing business case
