Recycling scrap tyres in Chile
µç¾º²©²ÊÍƼö signed a contract with Bridgestone Mining Solutions Latin America S.A for the recycling of end-of-life tyres. The goal in 2023 for µç¾º²©²ÊÍƼö operations in Chile was to recycle 67 tonnes of end-of-life tyres. The first eight tyres arrived at the recycling plant in La Negra in July. By November 2023, µç¾º²©²ÊÍƼö Chile had exceeded their goal, recycling 68.5 tonnes of tyres. In recognition of the partnership, Bridgestone awarded µç¾º²©²ÊÍƼö a plaque for their ‘valuable collaboration and commitment, essential for the success in complying with the Extended Producer Responsibility Law in Chile’.
The recycling process is completed through Bridgestone's provider, which operates a pyrolysis plant capable of converting end-of-life tyres into various derivative products (such as scrap metal and pyrolitic fuel) through a thermal conversion process. In addition, µç¾º²©²ÊÍƼö is continuing to work with the provider to evaluate the use of the by-products to transition to a more circular economy. This includes the use of pyrolytic fuel in generators and small equipment, and the manufacture of rubber floors or walkways to use at µç¾º²©²ÊÍƼö projects in Chile.
