Thanks to our partnership with Murfitts Industries, our recycling partner, we ensure that our rubber waste is put to good use. Murfitts Industries are the UK’s leading tyre collector and manufacturer of rubber granules worldwide.
A sustainability focused company, 100% of the
tyres Murfitts collects are recycled and repurposed for a variety of products, including artificial turf infill, rubber mulch used on children’s playgrounds, carpet underlays and road surfaces, just to name a few.
As a member of the Tyre Recovery Association, we are confident Murfitts recycling processes are responsible and in compliance with industry regulations.
All our end-of-life tyre rubber is sent
to our recycling partner, Murffits, to be recycled and repurposed in two ways.
In the first scenario Murfitts takes our recycled rubber and turns it into rubber crumb, which is then used to make various products, such as sports surfaces. In the second scenario the rubber crumb made from our recycled tyres is sent back to tyre manufacturers, who then use it to make new tyres. In both scenarios, our end-of-life tyre rubber that was otherwise destined for landfill is put
to good use.
