Certified Traceability Standard · OTR Tyres

Every OTR tyre,tracked from themine gate to recycling or the kiln.

VERITYRE™ certifies the full chain of custody for off-the-road tyres — from the moment they pass the mine gate to a certified endpoint, whether recycled or recovered at the kiln. One verifiable record. No blind spots.

Chain of Custody

From the mine gate
to recycling or the kiln

Each tyre receives a VERITYRE™ identity at the gate and carries it through every hour of service. When it comes off the machine, its route to recovery is certified — never assumed.

STAGE 01

Mine Gate

The tyre is registered on arrival. A unique, tamper-evident VERITYRE™ ID is bound to it — make, serial, size class, machine.

STAGE 02

In Service

Operating hours, rotations and repairs are logged against the same ID — a living service record, not paper.

STAGE 03

Decommission

At end of life the tyre is pulled, weighed and verified — its full history travels with it to the next step.

Certified endpoint — destination proven, not assumed
Outcome A · Material recovery

Recycling

Where the casing can be reclaimed, it's routed to verified recyclers — rubber and steel recovered and logged against the tyre's ID. Diversion is proven, not promised.

Outcome B · Energy recovery

The Kiln

Otherwise the tyre is processed to tyre-derived fuel (TDF) and consumed at a cement kiln. Destruction is confirmed and sealed as a Certificate of Destruction against the ID.

The Standard

One immutable record per lot

VERITYRE™ owns tyre identity, origin, chain-of-custody events, the processing record, destruction confirmation, certification status, and the disclosure artifact — addressable by Passport ID and QR.

What it owns source of truth

Tyre identity, origin, custody events, processing record, destruction confirmation, certification status and the disclosure artifact. One immutable record per lot, addressable by Passport ID and QR.

Two roles internal + external

Internal: the traceability spine of Mine2Kiln™ — every tonne shipped is sealed by a VERITYRE Passport. External: a licensable certified standard sold to mines and recyclers as a compliance & ESG disclosure product in its own right.

Why an independent standard

Separation is a credibility asset

Sellable on its own

A mine that uses a competitor for disposal still needs proof of destruction. VERITYRE can certify their stream without them ever touching Mine2Kiln.

Trust through independence

A traceability standard carries more weight when it isn't owned by the party selling the fuel. Separation is a credibility asset, not just an org-chart choice.

Regulatory tailwind

Stewardship bodies and ESG disclosure rules are tightening worldwide. A ready-made, audit-grade passport is increasingly a procurement requirement, not a nicety.

Anatomy of a Passport

One tyre lot. One sealed record.

A VERITYRE Passport is a single record per lot. It binds physical identity to a tamper-evident digital certificate, addressable by serial and QR — the unit Mine2Kiln references and auditors verify.

Disclosure artifact: the sealed Passport exports as a one-page Certificate of Destruction / Traceability that a mine can drop straight into its sustainability report or hand to a regulator. That export is the licensable product.
Chain of Custody

Seven custody events,
every hand-off stamped

The physical mine-to-recovery flow becomes a chain of signed, time-stamped events — shown here for the energy-recovery (kiln) route; the recycling route mirrors the same custody discipline. Each step writes to the Passport; nothing advances without the previous stamp.

1

Mine-gate intake & weigh

Signed by · Mine / generator + collector

Tyres logged at the source: count, size class, gate weigh-ticket. The Passport is opened and a unique VERITYRE ID is issued.

EVENT 01 · GATE WEIGH-TICKET HASHED
2

Collection & transport transfer

Signed by · Collector + carrier

Loaded for transport. Custody passes from generator to carrier with a signed transfer; route and carrier recorded.

EVENT 02 · CUSTODY TRANSFER
3

Processing — cut / section / shred

Signed by · Processing site

OTR casings cut and sized to TDF spec. Input vs. output reconciliation captured (mass balance) so nothing is lost or diverted.

EVENT 03 · MASS BALANCE RECONCILED
4

TDF QA & baling

Signed by · QA lead

Output graded to fuel spec (size, contamination, calorific check). Lot baled / packaged and tagged to the Passport.

EVENT 04 · TDF SPEC CONFIRMED
5

Logistics & shipment

Signed by · Carrier / freight forwarder

Container or break-bulk dispatch. Bill of lading and route bound to the Passport (domestic kiln or export corridor).

EVENT 05 · SHIPMENT BOUND
6

Kiln delivery & destruction

Signed by · Cement kiln / endpoint

Receipt confirmed at the kiln and energy-recovery / destruction logged. This is the event that makes the disposal claim defensible.

EVENT 06 · DESTRUCTION CONFIRMED
7

Passport sealed & certificate issued

Signed by · VERITYRE standard

All events present and reconciled → the Passport is sealed, anchored for tamper-evidence, and the Certificate of Destruction / Traceability is issued to the generator.

EVENT 07 · SEALED + ANCHORED
Gate rule: a Passport can only reach "Sealed" if events 1–6 reconcile on mass balance. A weight that leaves the mine but never arrives at its recovery endpoint — recycler or kiln — surfaces as an open exception; that gap-detection is the integrity value of the standard.
Regulatory Mapping

One Passport, mapped
to every regime

VERITYRE formats the same underlying record to satisfy each jurisdiction's stewardship body or disclosure rule — so a generator gets a document that speaks the regulator's language without re-doing the work per region.

The ESG angle

For listed mines, a sealed Passport is a reportable disclosure artifact — auditable proof for sustainability statements. That's often the line item that wins the contract.

The "prove it" angle

Regulators increasingly want proof of destination, not just collection. Event 6 — destruction confirmed at the kiln — is exactly the evidence a disposal claim needs to survive an audit.

Integrity Layer

Tamper-evident by design

The integrity layer exists for one reason: to make a disposal claim impossible to quietly alter after the fact. VERITYRE does not put operational data on a public chain — it hashes each custody event and anchors the sealed-Passport fingerprint. Cheap, private, verifiable by anyone holding the QR.

Event hashing

Each custody event is hashed as it's signed. Off-chain, private.

Merkle seal

At seal, all event hashes roll into one Passport root hash.

Anchor

Root hash written to a public chain / timestamp. Only the hash — no data.

Verify

QR → re-hash the record → compare to anchor. Match = untampered.

Why it matters: anchoring only a hash means the certificate is provably unchanged since sealing, while all commercially sensitive detail — prices, parties, routes — stays private and off-chain.
Build path

Crawl, walk, run

MVP

Hash-anchored certificates

Seal each Passport with a root hash, anchor it to a low-cost public chain or notarisation service, with a public QR verification page. This alone delivers tamper-evidence — ship it first.

V2

Signed multi-party custody

Each party — mine, carrier, processor, kiln — signs their event with their own key. The chain proves who attested what, when — not just that the record is unchanged.

V3

Tokenised destruction credits

A sealed destruction event can mint a verifiable proof-of-destruction credit usable in ESG / circularity reporting or future stewardship trading. Optional, demand-driven.

Positioning, not hype: lead with "tamper-evident certified record," not "blockchain." Buyers care that the proof can't be faked — the chain is the mechanism, the trust is the product.
Two Entities, One Spine

How VERITYRE and
Mine2Kiln connect

VERITYRE is the system of record for tyre identity and custody. Mine2Kiln is the fuel / disposal operation that consumes it. The dependency runs one way — Mine2Kiln reads from VERITYRE, never the reverse — which keeps the standard clean enough to sell to anyone.

VERITYRE™ source of truth

Owns the Passports table: one record per lot, the unique ID, all custody events, the sealed certificate and anchor. Editable only inside VERITYRE. Marketed as an independent certified standard.

Mine2Kiln™ consumer

Runs sourcing, processing, freight and kiln deals across Canada / LatAm / Australia. References the VERITYRE Passport ID for every tonne; never re-enters tyre identity. Says "traceability by VERITYRE™," not "our passport."

LayerPattern
VERITYRE baseMaster Passports table + suppliers + compliance mappings. The single source of truth.
Mine2Kiln baseSyncs Passports in as a read-only table; links its deal / shipment records to the Passport ID.
DirectionOne-way: VERITYRE → Mine2Kiln. Mine2Kiln can read every Passport, edit none.
Rebrand sweep: language once embedded in Mine2Kiln as "OTR Disposal Passport™" is extracted and rebranded as VERITYRE™. Every traceability touchpoint now reads "traceability by VERITYRE™" — the two are marketed as a connected, two-brand family.
