What we do

Driving sustainable outcomes for Australia's used tyres is our priority.

We run the national and voluntary Tyre Product Stewardship Scheme (TPSS) to help reduce the environmental, health and safety impacts of tyres which reach their end of life in Australia.

Masonry Products

Innovative masonry products incorporating tyre-derived material offer a lighter, more sustainable alternative to traditional concrete masonry. By replacing a portion of natural aggregates with TDM, these products reduce environmental impact while improving ease of handling, installation, and transport.

Masonry blocks manufactured with TDM maintain excellent durability and structural performance, and may offer added benefits such as increased flexibility, acoustic dampening, and fire resistance depending on the product design.

Common applications include:

  • Residential housing
  • Commercial and industrial buildings
  • Load-bearing walls
  • Sound barrier and fire barrier walls
  • Cyclone shelters and security structures
  • Retaining walls and landscape features
  • Garden edging and swimming pools
  • Decorative or feature walls

By choosing masonry products with TDM, specifiers and developers can support the circular economy while meeting performance requirements for a wide range of construction and landscaping projects.
