Out of the landfills!
In the US, tires are scrapped at a rate of 1.1 tires per person per year. Leading to over 300 million tires scrapped each year. Landfill space is becoming more and more scarce as tires do not biodegrade and have significant negative space. Tires also pose a significant environmental threat and contributes to toxic waste.
NAFHC was delighted to see that reRubber is committed towards the best green practices in the industry, utilizing state of the art equipment to drive down the use of electricity, materials and produces zero-waste from their operations. Their guarantee to the planet and it’s people is to recycled 100% of your scrap tires.
Despite some misconceptions associated with scrap tires, they remain to be one of the few recycled products that perform better than conventional materials used today. There are case studies available to compare both price and performance of recycled rubber products verses other conventional products. There are exciting new developments in surfacing, flooring, roofing, traffic safety and asphalt.
One of reRubber’s line can recycle up to 1,000,000 passenger tire equivalents per year, with capability to scale easily as supply and demand increases. Therefore one line can produce 7,200 tons of rubber, 3,250 tons of nylon and 1,650 tons of steel per year.
Lead by CEO & President – JD Wang, a true eco friendly visionary, reRubber has evolved from crumb rubber processor to rubber technology innovator. Working together with companies like Hyperseal, reRubber is changing the way we see crumb rubber, it is no longer just grind up product from a tire, but an important ingredient in the next generation of low coast, green, coating products.
