Every year, millions of tyres reach the end of their life in New Zealand, creating a growing environmental and logistical challenge. Treadlite exists to provide a practical, scalable solution, collecting, processing and transforming end-of-life tyres into high-value, reusable materials.
As New Zealand’s largest tyre collector, Treadlite operates a nationwide network that ensures tyres are removed efficiently and responsibly. With 1️⃣ 6️⃣ depots and more than 4️⃣2️⃣ trucks on the road, we deliver consistent, reliable collection services to businesses across the country, preventing stockpiles and reducing environmental risk.
What sets Treadlite apart is our end-to-end model. We don’t just collect tyres, we manage the entire lifecycle, from pickup through to processing and manufacturing. Every tyre is handled locally and converted into premium, NZ-made products including rubber granules, crumb, tyre-derived fuel and recovered steel.
This approach keeps materials in circulation and supports a circular economy, where waste is repurposed into products used in construction, roading, manufacturing and equestrian surfaces. By processing tyres within New Zealand, we reduce reliance on landfill and create long-term value from a challenging waste stream.
🌿 Treadlite is proudly 100% New Zealand owned and operated, working with over 2,000 customers and collecting over 3 million tyres each year. Our focus is simple: deliver reliable service, create real outcomes and take responsibility for solving a nationwide problem.
Our place. Our problem. And we’re getting on with it 💪
