The Future of Rubber Recycling
Committed to Zero TDF
Built for the Long Run, Not the Landfill
There’s a better way to deal with tyre waste.
Recycling isn’t about ticking boxes, it’s about creating lasting value, protecting the planet, and delivering real-world solutions that work. That’s the kind of sustainability RubberGem stands for.
This goes beyond simply recycling tyres, it’s about building systems that keep valuable materials in use, reducing environmental impact, and supporting local industries committed to doing the right thing.
We’re not here to follow trends. Since 2002, we’ve been driven to set new standards for recycled materials. Cleaner, smarter, and built to last.
Out of Sight Isn’t Out of Impact
There’s a better way to deal with tyre waste.
Tyre-Derived Fuel (TDF) is often sold as a green solution, but in reality, it’s a shortcut with serious consequences. Tyres are shredded, shipped offshore, and burned as fuel, releasing toxic chemicals and greenhouse gases into the air.
This process hides the waste but doesn’t eliminate its significant impact. It creates pollution, not products, and serves as a convenience…but not the planet. Exporting tyres for fuel might look efficient on paper. In practice, it’s a dead end for sustainability.
At RubberGem, we believe in a better way, one that keeps materials in use, supports local industry, and delivers lasting environmental outcomes.
Our Mission: #ZeroTDFby2030
There’s a better way to deal with tyre waste.
Tyre-Derived Fuel isn’t the answer, it’s a problem we can solve only by stopping its use as a “solution.”
#ZeroTDFby2030 is our commitment to end Tyre-Derived Fuel by 2030. It’s not just a campaign, it’s a clear line in the sand.
We believe recycled rubber should create value, not pollution. That means keeping tyres out of incinerators and in circulation as durable, high-performance products that support real industries and communities.
Reaching this goal will take action from national and local government, businesses, retailers, and consumers. We’re ready to lead. Now it’s time for others to step up.
If your company is ready to rethink tyre waste, this is where change begins.
