New Zealand: Golden Bay Cement has announced plans with Waste Management and the government to process tyres at its plant in Portland. The move follows the acquisition by Waste Management of the country’s largest tyre recycling business in 2016. The company is investing in shredders with funding from the Ministry for the Environment. It plans to have a shredding capacity of 30,000t/yr in place in Auckland by October 2017 with a unit to become operational in the South Island in early 2018.
