The process starts with discarded tires and other rubber products that would otherwise end up in landfills. Recycling facilities collect these tires and prepare them for a multi-step production process.
- Shredding and Grinding: First, the tires go through shredding machines that break them down into smaller pieces. These pieces are further ground until they become small, uniform granules, known as crumb rubber.
- Steel and Fiber Separation: Tires contain steel wires and fabric materials for reinforcement. During the grinding process, magnets and other separators remove these non-rubber components, leaving only clean, pure rubber.
- Size Sorting: The rubber granules are then sorted by size, as different applications require different particle sizes. For instance, fine granules are used for artificial turf infill, while coarser pieces may be used for larger projects like playground surfaces.
- Final Processing: Depending on the intended use, It may undergo additional processing steps, such as adding chemical treatments or further refining. This ensures the rubber meets specific safety and durability standards.
