WHY TIRE RECYCLING?

Rubber waste is most common and most significant source of environmental problems. Automobiles industry and other industries has enormous growth in past several years, this veracity brought immense problems due to more rubber waste. This problem is creating ozone layer depletion and degradation of our environment, which is the biggest challenge in the world. Recycling waste rubber is the most significant choice to prevent these difficulties.

Rubber waste disposal is the most critical problem in the world. Recycling the waste rubber is the key solution to prevent environmental hazards caused by the untreated waste rubber. In the current decade, India is facing enormous problems due to waste disposal of rubber.

WHAT IS TIRE RECYCLING?

From cars and trucks to planes, tractors, and forklifts, tires are used for a wide variety of vehicles. And those tires don't last forever. Regardless of how many miles a tire travels, it should not be used longer than ten years past its manufacture date, as the rubber will grow brittle and can crack. This isn't usually a problem, since most tires are replaced within three or four years.

In most places, it is illegal to bury those whole scrap tires or dispose of them in grounds. Throughout the world, the majority of developed countries will not allow whole tire disposal. Instead, tire recycle facilities and programs typically shred these scrap tires. Tire shredding is a very common way of preparing scrap tires for disposal or recycle. In order to dispose of tires in a landfill, they must be shredded to various sized chips.

WASTE TIRES REUSE
OR RECYCLING

There are a few ways in which tires can be reused or recycled. There are large differences in laws and regulations worldwide with the aim to encourage or discourage different methods.

One way of reusing tires is retreading tires, thereby extending the tire's lifecycle. Using waste tires in landfill is still a popular way of disposing waste tires. Since tires are not biodegradable, governments globally instead encourage recycling in different ways. One way is to de-bead the tire (i.e. removing the steel bead), cutting it and stamping it into products like shims or belts.

Tire Recycling

Used tires are among the largest and most problematic sources of waste today, due to the large volume produced and their durability. Stockpiles of whole tires are a large health and safety risk. Tire fires are very hard extinguish and burn for decades. Also, the smoke includes toxic chemicals. The tires are also the perfect place to provide shelter for vermin and a breeding ground for mosquitoes that may carry diseases.

There are three types of tires; car tires, truck tires and off-the-road (OTR) tires. The most common is car tires who consists of approx. 70-75 % rubber, 10-15% steel and 10 % textile fibers. In a tires the rubber ensure optimal grip, a long lifespan, low fuel efficiency and best comfort including noise reduction, while the steel and textile give the tensile strength necessary to contain the inflation pressure.

The same characteristics which make waste tires a waste problem also make them one of the most re-used waste materials. Rubber is a very dependable material strong, flexible, elastic, durable and waterproof. The most important use of rubber is in tires – almost half of all the world's rubber ends up as tires! Other uses are e.g. erasers, balloons protective gloves, waterproof clothes and paints.
