- Rubber recovery can be a difficult
process. There are many reasons, however, why rubber should be reclaimed or
recovered; Recovered rubber can cost half that of natural or synthetic
rubber. Recovered rubber has some properties that are better than those of
virgin rubber.
- It is an excellent way to dispose of
unwanted rubber products, which is often difficult. It conserves
non-renewable petroleum products, which are used to produce synthetic
rubbers. Recycling activities can generate work in developing countries.
- The amount of tire waste has been
increasing year after year. The natural decomposition process of these tires
is very slow because they are made of rubber. If tires are disposed of
unsafely, they can cause environmental pollution. Furthermore, dengue fever
virus can grow in the water that is accumulated inside old tires. The waste
tire recycling regulation has been enforced by EPA.
- According to the research conducted by
the Waste Tire Council and the Energy Department of Industrial Study Center,
the best way to regenerate resources from tires is cracking them at a low
temperature.
- To develop recycling technology for
rubber waste generated from both manufacturing products and post-consumer
products
to protect the global environment and also save resources.
- Recovery Technology has developed a new
process for the conversion of steel-belted tires to rubber crumb. This
technology, which recovers 98% of the useable rubber from the steel, carbon,
and fabric components, has been licensed world-wide.
- Recycling artisans have integrated
themselves into the Hydraulic oil traditional market place and have created
a viable livelihood for themselves in this sector. The process of tyre
collection and reuse is a task carried out primarily by the informal
sector.
- Tyres account for around 3.5% of the
weight of an average ELV, and as a controlled waste under the Environmental
Protection Act 1990, a Duty of Care is placed upon waste producers to ensure
that waste material is disposed of safely through registered carriers to
licensed sites.
- Manufacturing a retread tyre for an
average car takes 4.5 gallons less oil than the equivalent new tyre and for
commercial vehicle tyres the saving is estimated to be about 15 gallons per
tyre. Car tyres can only be retreaded once but truck tyres can be retreaded
up to three times.
- The New York State Office of Recycling
Market Development estimates that approximately 32 consumers of waste tires
are operational in the Notheast United States.
- Economic evaluation for three tire
recycling plants in the USA that processed from 2 to 5 million tires
annually indicated that their gross income can be increased from $0.672 to
$1.935 million per year depending on the quantity of tires processed and the
landfill costs. The machines process about 1,491 kg/hr per meter of width
(1,000 lbs/hr/ft) and cost about $100,000.
