Company Profile
Nicholas Potts “Nick”– Founder, Smart Resources Recycling Ltd
Since 2011, we have been trading in a wide range of recyclable commodities through Smart Resources Recycling Ltd.
Over the years, our focus has evolved—today, we spend most of our time working with EOL (end-of-life) rubber tires of all types and sizes:
🚲 Bicycle
🚗 Car
🚚 Commercial Truck
🚜 Forklift & Agricultural
⛏️ Mining & Crane (OTR)
✈️ Aircraft & Military
These are either exported in baled format for container loading or processed into shredded rubber in various sizes.
We also handle ASR (Automotive Shredded Residue) material.
Together with our global team, we’ve built a strong reputation across the UK, USA, Europe, Australia, Asia, South America, and beyond—delivering reliable, sustainable solutions in the tire recycling industry.
