How to Process and Utilize Waste Tires?
2 Answers
Waste tires can be processed and utilized through the following methods: 1. Hot vulcanization repair: Use machines to perform high-temperature vulcanization on repairable tires, adding components such as steel wires and rubber to transform the tires into reusable ones. 2. Retreading: Use machines to perform top capping or full retreading on retreadable tires, turning them into reusable tires. 3. Segmentation: Use machines or manual tools to dismantle waste tires for reuse. 4. Tire cord fabric: Manually or mechanically peel off the surface rubber of tires to obtain tire cord fabric. 5. Tire products: Use machines or manual tools to segment waste tires and assemble them into desired tire products.
I am an environmental volunteer and have seen many methods for recycling used tires. The most common is shredding them into small pieces, called rubber granules, which are then used to pave playground tracks or road bases, reducing environmental pollution while saving materials. Another method is recycling them into new rubber products, such as shoe soles or car mats, with the process including shredding, cleaning, and melting into new materials. Some also use whole tires for building breakwaters, which are moisture-proof and sturdy. If discarded in landfills, used tires can pollute the soil, but recycling significantly reduces this harm. I believe everyone should pay attention to tire recycling to help reduce the burden on the planet. The local recycling station handles it quite well.
