The Mining Tire Disposal Problem

• Large stockpiles occupy space and create visible environmental liability.
• OTR tires require safe cutting, loading, transport, and documentation.
• Local recyclers may not absorb large ultra-class tire volumes.
• Mines increasingly require traceability for ESG and audits.

Our Solution

• Stockpile assessment and photographic documentation
• Safe preparation, cutting, handling, and loading plan
• Mine-to-port logistics and export/recovery route
• Final disposal or recovery certificate
• ESG and environmental traceability report

Benefits to the Mine

• Removes a long-term environmental liability from site.
• Supports ESG and circular-economy reporting.
• Creates a clear chain of custody from stockpile to recovery.
• Can handle larger volumes than many local outlets.

Project Process

Compliance & Documentation Approach

For Peru, the project should align with local NFU/end-of-life tire requirements, mine safety rules, transport requirements, and export/import documentation where applicable.

• Stockpile assessment report
• Tire inventory and photographic record
• Handling, cutting, loading method statement
• Transport and chain-of-custody records
• Final recovery/disposal certificate

Information Requested From the Mine

• Approximate number of tires or estimated tons
• Tire sizes, brands, and condition
• Photos, videos, drone images, or site layout
• Mine location and GPS coordinates
• Truck access, loading equipment, and safety rules
• Certificate or reporting requirements

Recommended Pilot Program

• Volume: 500 to 1,500 tons
• Whole OTR tires stored above ground
• Truck access and loading equipment available
• Final disposal/recovery certificate required
• Objective: prove process, cost, documentation, and recovery route
