Scrap tire market analysis

Article Abstract:

A scrap tire market survey, conducted under the auspices of the Scrap Tire Management Council, reveals up to 850 million stockpiled scrap tires, of which the majority may go into production of tire derived fuel. However, the business outlook appears more bright for ground rubber products and civil engineering materials made out of whole/shredded scrap tires. Ground rubber finds application in bound rubber products, new tire manufacturing, rubber modified asphalt, athletics and injection molded products. Scrap tyres may be processed at a cost comparable to soil cost when used as fill materials.

Good year for tire recovery

Article Abstract:

The recovery of scrap tires in the US is increasing with the growing demands due to new found applications in agriculture, civil engineering and an increase in ground rubber usage. In 1995, 69% of the total scrap tires were recovered. Tire pipe structures, marine fenders, rubber pads, and cow bedding for dairy farms are made from recycled scrap tires. Tire-derived fuel is used in pulp and paper mills, power plants and for electric utilities. Many companies such as Eastern Iowa Tire Recyclers Inc., American Tire Recyclers and F&B Enterprises are involved in tire recycling.
