Recycling can be defined as the procedure of making new re-manufactured products using scrap. Products such as paper scrap, plastic scrap, and tin scrap are very easily recycled and can be transformed into reusable materials, but when it comes to the recycling process, there are various other products that may go under the radar. In the last couple of decades, the tire recycling industry has grown by leaps and bounds. Tyre recycling not only benefits the tyre scrap suppliers but also benefits our environment.

Due to some misconceptions about the tire recycling, many companies avoid tyre recycling process. Making it affordable and easy, the tire recycling process has some unique differences when compared to how other items are recycled.

Myth: Time Consuming

Fact: Since the customers’ tires must be removed in order for another set to be installed, recycling the tyre scrap is not time-consuming in the traditional sense. If you aren’t changing tires on your vehicle but happen to have old tires on your property, you need to find a place where they can be properly recycled.

Myth: Messy

Fact: Simply by doing research online and finding tyre scrap buyers who can collect your tires "as is" can save you from the messiness.

Myth: Costly

Fact: While there are some nominal fees for tyre recycling, the process of tyre recycling is generally not costly. They may vary from store-to-store and state-to-state.

Uses and Benefits of Recycled Tyres

Tyre scrap materials have become a valuable resource, across many different industries and provide a variety of innovative uses.

Fuel

Both the reduced-size and whole tyre scrap can be burned for fuel that is used to power cement kilns, pulp and paper mills. As the tyre burn hotter and cleaner compared to coal, tyres help to reduce emissions.

Construction Materials

Most states in the U.S. is now using tyre scrap in road construction and various other civil engineering initiatives. As the rubber scrap fills under roads, it is useful and inexpensive compared to clay or other weak soils. On the other hand, the shredded tyre scrap can be used in sound walls, landfill constructions and bridge foundations.

Crumb Rubber

Crumb rubber is the finely ground rubber produced from tyre scrap. The steel and tyre cords are removed from the old tyres, and the remaining rubber will be made into a granular consistency. Using these granules various products such as floor tiles, vehicle mudguards, speed bumps and anti-fatigue mats can be produced.

Remolded Tires

To create a cost-saving alternative for new tyres, tyre scrap that meets certain criteria can be remolded using new sidewalls and treads. By properly manufacturing, the remolded tires can tolerate the rigors of daily use and carry warranties similar to those of new tires.
