How to Dispose of Old Tires After Replacement?
1 Answers
Replaced old tires can be placed back in the original spare tire storage location. If the damage is not significant, they can be repaired and kept as a spare tire or sold to an auto parts market. Before replacing tires, first, park the car in a relatively safe and flat area, then firmly engage the parking brake, shift the gear to the parking position, turn the ignition switch to the "lock" position, activate the hazard lights, and place a triangular warning sign at a sufficient distance from the vehicle. Below are the disposal methods for sold old tires: 1. Tire Retreading: Tire retreading technology involves refurbishing worn or damaged tires through repair processes to restore their usability. 2. Converting Waste Tires into Fuel Using Catalysts: The technology of converting waste tires into fuel involves heating and pressurizing waste tires to extract fuel. However, using simple and cheap equipment for this process can easily cause secondary pollution. 3. Rubber Powder Regeneration from Tires: This technology first uses waste tire rubber powder equipment to crush tires into 20~30 mesh rubber powder, followed by desulfurization treatment to soften the rubber powder into malleable recycled rubber, which can then be reprocessed into various rubber products. If the desulfurization process is not up to standard, it can also lead to pollution. 4. Rubber Powder for Waterproofing and Leak Prevention: Waterproof membranes are mainly used for building leak prevention. Most buildings now undergo waterproofing and leak prevention measures, making this a widespread industry nationwide. The demand for waterproof membranes is enormous, and rubber powder is a key raw material in this technology, as waterproof membranes also fall under modified asphalt.
