Intro:

Fenner Conveyors (part of the ResourceCo Group) has partnered with Australian tyre recycling specialist Tyrecycle to create a circular solution for end-of-life conveyor belts, repurposing rubber and extending material life while supporting mining customers with sustainable practices.

Strategic Vision & Partnership Rationale

The collaboration embeds circularity into conveyor belt systems used in mining. Rather than disposing of belts at end-of-life, the initiative aims to transform them into new usable products, effectively creating a closed-loop lifecycle for industrial rubber components.

Fenner Conveyors and Tyrecycle joined forces in a new partnership aiming to reshape sustainability in bulk materials handling, bringing together complementary rubber expertise and a shared desire to support mining customers for the long term.

As a part of the ResourceCo Group, Fenner Conveyors and Tyrecycle are leveraging their global networks to unlock cutting-edge circular solutions in Australia.

With deep roots in Australian manufacturing and a proven ability to scale, Fenner Conveyors and Tyrecycle, part of the ResourceCo Group, are leveraging their global networks to unlock cutting-edge circular solutions – right here in Australia.

Tyrecycle CEO, Jim Fairweather, said the partnership will drive progress and deliver sustainable innovation to the mining sector. “We’re combining world-class polymer manufacturing with local know-how to deliver real, scalable change,” said Fairweather. 

Fenner Conveyors Managing Director, Jen Green, said at the heart of this initiative is a powerful vision: an endless lifecycle of conveyor belts. “It’s no longer the end for end-of-life conveyor belts. We are transforming these belts into new solutions that can continue to deliver value to the industry,” said Green.

Such a disruptive approach to decarbonising mining operations aims to reduce the environmental impact of key rubber products used in mining across Australia. “Our solution is designed to be seamless for mining companies, integrating reverse logistics and existing services with new commercial models and technologies,” said Green.

Another segment of the partnership is its local impact – from Perth to Pilbara – the process of belt manufacture and then return and recycling takes place across two facilities, just one suburb apart, meaning that local jobs, local investment, and a trusted supply chain with high-order environmental outcomes.
