Can the replaced tires be sold?
1 Answers
Yes, they can be sold. Used tires are occasionally purchased, but their value is very low. Here is some relevant information about used tires: 1. Introduction to used tires: As solid waste, used tires are referred to as "black pollution" in the industry. If not disposed of properly, they not only cause resource waste but also environmental impact. Therefore, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has issued documents to standardize the comprehensive utilization of used tires from various aspects. 2. Methods for handling used tires: Tire retreading: Tire retreading technology involves repairing and processing worn or otherwise damaged tires to restore their usability. Adding catalysts to refine waste tires into oil: The technology of refining waste tires into oil involves heating and pressurizing waste tires to extract fuel oil. If simple and cheap equipment is used, it can easily cause secondary pollution. Rubber powder regeneration from tires: This technology first uses equipment to crush used tires into 20~30 mesh rubber powder, then desulfurizes the rubber powder to soften it into malleable regenerated rubber, which can be reprocessed into various rubber products. If the desulfurization process is not up to standard, it can also cause pollution. Rubber powder for waterproofing and leak prevention: Waterproof membranes are mainly used for building leak prevention. Most buildings now undergo waterproofing and leak prevention work, and this industry is widespread across the country. The demand for waterproof membranes is enormous, and rubber powder is also a primary raw material for this technology, as waterproof membranes are a type of modified asphalt.
