Tyre Recycling Technology Wins Australian TV Award

Used tyre recycling technology has scooped the Invention of the Year award on ABC TV’s The New Inventors.

Developed by Gold Coast inventor John Dobozy, the Melectra Tyre Recycling technology integrates mechanical, chemical and microwave treatment to break down tyres into their base materials – oil, carbon, rubber granules, steel and plastic fibres, recycling 100 per cent of a tyre without waste, residue or emissions.

By this time next year, Dobozy plans to have a factory set up in Sydney with the capacity to recycle up to two million used tyres annually.
Dobozy’s prize includes a comprehensive package of tailored business advice and assistance worth tens of thousands of Dollars. He has already had licensing inquiries from more than 40 countries.
