4 Ways To Recycle And Reuse Waste Tires

As the number of cars worldwide continues to rise, the number of waste tires is also increasing. How can we properly dispose of and reasonably recycle a large number of waste tires to avoid polluting the environment and effectively utilize resources? Here are some tips and guides to you.

1. Make retreat tires

For tires that are not completely worn, the outer layer can be cut off, glued with rubber, and re-vulcanized to make retread tires. The raw material consumption of retread tires is very low, so that they are relatively cheap and cost-effective. In addition, tire experts say that within a safe driving speed, the performance of retread tires is not much different from that of new tires.

2. Make oil through tires pyrolysis

Pyrolysis refers to the high-temperature cracking reaction of organic matter in the absence of oxygen. It is a chemical process that can convert high-molecular compounds into several other substances (mainly low-molecular substances).

The tire itself is a very complex compound, so after being crushed and cracked, tires can generate materials such as carbon black, tire oil, and steel wire. Tire oil can be burned directly or refined to obtain gasoline and diesel, carbon black can be used to make inks, paints, etc., steel wire can be used directly or processed into steel.

3. Restore waste tires into rubber powder

Tires are rubber products, so after the processes of steel wire drawing, crushing, sorting, grinding and other processes to remove non-rubber impurities like nylon fiber and steel, waste tires return relatively pure rubber powder. According to the different requirements, waste tires can be ground into rubber powder of different mesh.

Rubber powder has many uses. It can be applied to various products in the industries of photosensitive materials, medicine, furniture, packaging, papermaking, textiles, printing and dyeing, printing, ceramics, daily chemicals, food, coatings, metallurgy, etc., in which it plays the role of thickening, stabilization, cohesion, blending, glazing, sizing, bonding, and water fixation. According to incomplete statistics, more than 1,000 products in more than 30 industries use rubber powder.

4. Turn waste tires into crafts

In addition, have you ever noticed that waste tires have been transformed into some crafts or practical tools in daily life, such as sofas, recliners, flower pots, swings, etc. In the gym, waste tires can also be used as fitness tools for strength training. You can give full play to your imagination and turn waste tires into various crafts.
