Agricultural Tyre Circular Solutions

Circol ELT thanks the farming community for their enthusiastic participation, highlighting that advance registration and sticking to scheduled times helped keep traffic moving smoothly and operations running efficiently.

Alan Dillon, Minister of State at the Department of Climate Action, Energy and the Environment with special responsibility for the Circular Economy, emphasised that “farmers play a vital role in Ireland’s sustainability journey.” He noted that this collection initiative offers farmers an affordable and straightforward way to dispose of waste tyres responsibly—benefiting both farmers and the environment and demonstrating the positive impact of collaboration.

Acknowledgment was also given to the Irish Farmers’ Association (IFA), the Farm Contractors Association of Ireland (FCAI), and the Irish Farm Films Producers Group (IFFPG) for helping spread the word about the event. Circol ELT expressed gratitude to Crossmore Tyre Recycling for hosting the event and expertly managing the intake process from start to finish.

Bill Collins, CEO of Circol ELT, described the day as a significant step forward in offering accessible and environmentally sound options for farm tyre disposal. He pointed out that high farmer participation highlights the need for a well-organised solution across the country and thanked everyone involved—especially Crossmore Tyre Recycling—for ensuring the event ran smoothly.

Circol ELT also announced that additional Farm Tyre Take-Back Days are planned, with new dates for spring and autumn 2026 to be revealed soon. This ongoing series will give farmers in every region continued access to a subsidised, compliant, and eco-friendly way to dispose of farm tyres.

Transform Tire Collection into Scalable Value with Klean Industries

The success of Circol ELT’s farm tyre take-back initiative highlights a critical industry reality:
collection systems are improving—but value recovery infrastructure is still lagging.

While programs like this create efficient pathways for aggregating end-of-life tyres, the real opportunity lies in converting that material into high-value commodities and fuels.

Klean Industries bridges this gap with proven, commercial-scale solutions:

  • Advanced tire pyrolysis systems converting ELTs into fuel, gas, and recovered carbon black
  • Integration of collection networks with downstream processing infrastructure
  • Scalable solutions for agricultural, industrial, and municipal waste streams
  • Expertise in building end-to-end circular tyre ecosystems
  • Proven track record in upgrading underperforming recycling systems

As governments and compliance schemes expand collection mandates, the next phase is clear: industrial-scale processing and monetization of waste tyres.
