Local Recycling with Global Solutions

Our Story

From Surplus to Sustainable Solutions

Established in 2002 as Surplus Conveyors, we began tackling the challenge of repurposing end-of-life conveyor belts which were in abundance from Western Australia’s booming mining industry. Over our first decade, we successfully diverted more than 160,000 tonnes of material from landfill, converting heavy-duty belts into durable, anti-slip flooring solutions for agricultural industries around the world, particularly in the dairy and equestrian sectors.

Driven by a bigger vision for rubber recycling, we evolved into RubberGem. We’re not just another recycler, we manufacture high-performance, ready-to-use rubber products right here in our East Rockingham facility, turning Western Australian tyre and conveyor waste into engineered solutions for domestic and international markets. With purpose-built facilities, advanced devulcanisation technology, robotic curing presses, and a skilled team of 130 at our new East Rockingham site, we process a wide range of rubber waste and deliver products built to perform across agriculture, construction, transport, and beyond.

Today, RubberGem stands as a proud West Australian company, home to the nation’s largest rubber recycling site, delivering sustainable solutions that create real impact at home and abroad.

We don’t just recycle rubber. We reimagine what it can do.

At RubberGem, recycling isn’t the end goal, it’s the starting point for lasting change. We exist to reduce waste and protect the planet, and we take that responsibility seriously. Every step of our process is designed to deliver measurable, meaningful environmental outcomes:

• Fewer Carbon Emissions: Our rubber recycling processes can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 700 kilograms of CO₂ for every tonne of tyre input.
• Cleaner Air: By capturing and reusing sulphur found in tyres, we help minimise the risk of acid rain and air pollution.
• Less Deforestation: Our engineered recycled rubber products reduce reliance on virgin rubber materials and natural resources, helping to protect forests and fragile ecosystems.
• Reduced Mining Demand: We recover and reuse steel from tyres and conveyor belts, reducing the need for raw material extraction like iron ore.

Every product that leaves our East Rockingham facility keeps waste out of landfill and ensures valuable materials remain in circulation. It’s real impact, made right here in WA, and built for the future.

Community Support

Locals backing locals

We believe good business should create positive change, both environmentally and socially. That’s why we proudly support local community groups, clubs, and organisations that align with our values.

From youth development and grassroots sport to environmental clean-ups, we invest in initiatives that make a real difference close to home. These aren’t just sponsorships, they’re long-term partnerships built on trust, shared purpose, and a genuine commitment to our community.
