Tyre and Rubber Recycling: Why It Matters and How Fernite of Sheffield Can Help.
Tyres and rubber products are a part of modern life, used in everything from vehicles and machinery to footwear and household items.
However, these products have a significant environmental impact when they’re disposed of improperly. Tyres and rubber products take hundreds of years to break down in landfills, releasing harmful chemicals and pollutants into the environment. That’s why tyre and rubber recycling is so important.
Fernite of Sheffield is an ISO 9001 accredited UK-based manufacturer that specializes in producing high-quality blades and shredder blocks for the tyre recycling industry.
What is Tyre and Rubber Recycling?
Tyre and rubber recycling involves collecting, processing, and repurposing used tyres and rubber products. There are several ways to recycle these materials, including:
1. Mechanical recycling: This involves grinding up used tyres and rubber products into small pieces, which can then be used as raw materials for new products.
2. Pyrolysis: This process involves heating used tyres and rubber products in the absence of oxygen to break them down into their constituent components, such as oil, gas, and carbon black.
3. Devulcanisation: This process involves breaking the chemical bonds that give rubber its elasticity, making it possible to reuse the rubber in new products.
