  1. 21st Annual Conference

  2. Priorities, Possibilities and Pyrolysis the Product Stewardship of Tyres Zero Waste New Zealand Ltd.

  3. Synopsis • Review the problem • Current Issues • Infrastructure needed in New Zealand • Now we have a way….. • Thoughts and figures on recycling tyres in New Zealand.

  4. Tyre numbers At the end of June this year: 2,306,921 cars 23,391 rental cars 7,855 taxis 427,525 trucks 19,067 buses 28,703 tractors …….3,383,960 vehicles not including planes and Sedgeways all with at least 4 wheels

  5. Mosquito breeding utopia

  6. Tyres are important because • on-going and relentless volume, • real and potential harm to human life • good energy products being shredded and dumped- energy sink x2 • steel and carbon black replacing imports • jobs produced in the NZ market • emerging technology to market overseas

  7. Current Issues • Large numbers of small importers; no clear and co-operative choke point in the cycle. • Public are used to a $ charge as they change vehicle tyres- not aware of final destination • Extensive problems with legacy tyres- Swanson, Naike, Napier • City Council Costs – Auckland $4000/ month • Export to Asia- Basel Convention

  8. Times are a changing • Recession- jobs, imports, buffer • Peak oil • Climate change • Consumerism • Emerging sustainability

  9. Tyre pyrolysis plant

  10. Resources from end-of-life tyres/tonne of tyres

  11. Resources from Pyrolysis per tonne/tyres

  12. Tyre Producers Tyre energy TDE Shredding Farms and Fenders Chips for drainage Export Pyrolysis Monies paid out. Rate dependant on the resources extracted Tariff Collected via Importer code and tariff Vehicle Importers TYRE RECYCLING- THE MECHANICS

  13. How could we levy the tyres produced or imported into NZ? • Customs code for tyres and imported vehicles- easiest- levy on numbers or tonnes of raw materials through customs directly to ZWNZ tyre recycling • Rim size/inches- some differentiation shows in the code, is it enough? • EPU ( Equivalent passenger units )- the Australian system- identifies 24 different tyres • Need to establish what each tyre categories equivalence is in terms of shredded or crumbed product and in terms of carbon char.

  14. New Zealand Customs • Already levy some 60-70 product catagories for similar purposes • Customs require these things: • Legislation • Then they will charge a fee for entry for home consumption • Exports and refunds will have to be undertaken by the organising authority • Advance warning to set this all up • Simple as possible eg follow import categories • Recoverable cost

  15. Suggested pay-out differential for end-of-life tyres
