What is the waste tyre management strategy in South Africa?

South Africa's waste management strategy is guided by national policies and legislation aimed at reducing waste generation, promoting recycling, and ensuring environmentally sound disposal.

In South Africa, tyre manufacturers and importers are required to ensure proper recycling or disposal of waste tyres.

The South African government encourages waste tyre recycling and even provides rebates to tyre recycling companies for proper and environmentally sound processing of waste tyres.

There are roughly four different methods for waste tyre recycling in South Africa:

Use of Scrap tyres: Scrap tyres can be repurposed as port fenders and ship fenders, slope protection levees, road traffic wall screens, signposts, marine aquaculture reefs, and amusement facilities. However, these applications are relatively limited. While this method helps reduce waste tyre stockpiles, it does not fully address the issue of waste tyre recycling and may pose certain environmental risks if not properly managed.

Recycling Scrap tyres into Rubber Powder or Reclaimed Rubber: This method involves high-temperature and high-pressure dynamic desulfurization processes. However, it generates secondary exhaust gas pollution and poses risks of burning and explosions during production. As a result, the production of reclaimed rubber has gradually declined, and some countries have discontinued its production.

Scrap tyre Retreading: This method requires high integrity of the tyres and strict retreading technology standards. Moreover, retreaded tyres may still pose significant safety hazards.

Scrap tyre Pyrolysis to Produce Fuel Oil: With the development of high-value-added economic technologies, "thermal cracking" technology has been continuously refined. Used tyre pyrolysis technology has quietly progressed to the stage of industrial development due to its unique advantages. This offers an optimal solution for waste tyre recycling, eliminating secondary pollution, alleviating energy crises, and achieving resource recycling.

Waste tyre recycling methods

DOING provides a variety of pyrolysis plant to meet different needs. Batch pyrolysis plant is suitable for small-scale intermittent processing, with simple design and low investment cost. Semi-continuous pyrolysis plant combines the advantages of intermittent and full continuous, and is economical and efficient. Full continuous pyrolysis plant can operate 24 hours a day, with high production efficiency and high safety and environmental protection coefficient.

DOING pyrolysis plants types

DOING rotary automatic pyrolysis plants adopt low-temperature and vacuum pressure cracking technology for used tyres. Through pyrolysis treatment, used tyres are converted into recyclable carbon black and fuel oil, transforming black waste into renewable resources. This technology enables waste tyres to re-enter the production cycle as raw materials, effectively controlling environmental pollution while facilitating resource recycling. It delivers significant social and economic benefits and has become a new economic growth point for industrial recycling. Compared with other tyre treatment methods, tyre pyrolysis plants are highly recommended.
