Tire Recycling That Turns Used Tires Into New Resources
Backed by Emterra Group’s 50 years of resource recovery experience, Emterra helps customers manage scrap tire collection in Ontario through a resource recovery approach. Every end-of-life tire becomes usable material, rubber, steel, and fibre, returned to manufacturers, infrastructure projects, and consumer goods.
As a family-owned Canadian business, we work directly with municipalities, retailers, fleets, and producers to keep tires out of landfills and in productive reuse.
Scrap Tire Pickup and Hauling
We provide scheduled and on-call tire collection for customers who need a dependable way to dispose of tires. Our team supports routine pickups, surge volumes, and documented reporting to help keep operations organized and compliant.
Tire Processing And Material Recovery
Our resource recovery process separates recycled tires into steel, fibre, and rubber through a specialized processing system.
- Rubber - recovered and processed into crumb rubber for manufacturing, flooring, mulch, and playground surfaces
- Steel - separated and prepared for recovery through established metal recycling streams
- Fibre - separated during processing and managed as part of the recovery system
The crumb rubber produced through rubber tire recycling can be used in new manufactured products and other recovery applications.
Producer Responsibility and Ontario Compliance
Are you a tire producer in the Province of Ontario? Have you registered with the Resource Productivity & Recovery Authority (RPRA)?
Emterra offers an integrated approach to tire recycling and compliance through Ryse Solutions, a multi-material Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) and division of Emterra Group. We handle collection, processing, and regulatory reporting in one coordinated service.
