Turning Waste into Innovation
Teck, Tyromer, and Fenner Dunlop’s Journey to Sustainable Mining Solutions

Jon Visaisouk
CEO
Tyromer worked with mining company Teck Resources, and conveyor belt manufacturer Fenner Dunlop (owned by Michelin), to create new conveyor belts made with Tyromer devulcanized rubber.
In this trial, a large conveyor belt that is over 1km in length was manufactured and installed on a coal mining site in Western Canada. The belt has already been in operation over 2 years with no performance difference than conveyor belts made without the devulcanized rubber.
This is a strong example of what can be accomplished when there is willingness and collaboration.
