Tire Recycling

Tire recycling has an innovation technique that uses a special mechanism to heat the used tires in a closed, oxygen-free environment

Tire recycling is the process of recycling vehicles tires (or tyres) that are no longer suitable for use on vehicles due to wear or irreparable damage (such as punctures). These tires are among the largest and most problematic sources of waste, due to the large volume produced and their durability. Those same characteristics which make waste tires such a problem also make them one of the most re-used waste materials, as the rubber is very resilient and can be reused in other products. Approximately one tire is discarded per person per year.

The Tire Recycling Supply Chain is divided into three stages:

• Collection and processing stage
  

• Tire-derived products stage
  

• Tire-derived products

The pyrolysis method for recycling of used tires is an innovation technique that uses a special mechanism to heat the used tires in a closed, oxygen-free environment – a stove to melt down the tires into the materials that they were made of.
