TyreCrete demos end-of-life tyre concrete system at Recycling Expo.

ExCeL London, 7–8 October 2025. TyreCrete is exhibiting at Recycling Expo, showcasing a patented process that replaces a portion of concrete’s natural aggregates with minimally processed end-of-life tyres. The company says the approach preserves natural resources and improves properties such as flexural strength and impact resistance.

The expo runs 9:00 to 17:00 today and 9:00 to 15:30 tomorrow.

What TyreCrete is showing

TyreCrete’s system is designed to divert waste tyres from export and landfill by integrating shredded tyre material into ready-mix and precast products. The firm highlights lower embodied CO2 potential and reduced use of virgin aggregates.

“Tyrecrete replaces elements of the aggregates in concrete with minimally processed end-of-life tyres.”

Products and use cases

According to TyreCrete, the material can be supplied as ready-mix or used in common precast applications, including:

  • Concrete building blocks and lighter precast blocks.
  • Fire and blast walls for substations and secure sites.
  • Crash and safety barriers, including Jersey barriers.
  • Pedestrian paving slabs with improved freeze-thaw resistance.
  • Lighter fencing panels with fire and sound benefits.
  • Tunnel and shaft fill, and utility trenching.

Performance notes

TyreCrete states that tyre-enhanced concrete remains suitable for most precast products and that reduced density can be achieved as rubber content increases. The company also points to independent testing on tyre-modified road safety barriers that reported improved impact protection and longer service life.

Why this matters

The UK handles tens of millions of waste tyres each year. Moving some of that stream into concrete could cut reliance on quarried aggregates, lower transport and material emissions, and create products with added performance benefits. For local authorities, contractors, and asset owners, this presents a practical circular option that can be procured through familiar concrete supply routes.

Company background

TyreCrete is a UK business built around a patented material concept developed to solve simultaneous challenges of tyre disposal and aggregate scarcity. The firm positions its licensed supply model as a simple production change for ready-mix and precast partners.
