Recycling Used Tires Faq's

What are some innovative ways tires can be recycled?
The management of MSP Rubber Pvt Ltd is committed to improve the working environment for our employees and in general for the community we live in. We have put in place a number of procedures to deal with environmental issues affecting our business activities.
Could used scrap tires be made into new tires?
A small amount of recycled rubber is used as filler material in a new tire. However due to material differences and quality constraints, it can only be used in a minimal amount for new tires.
Do recycled rubber products harm the environment when coming in contact with soil and water?
Currently there is no evidence showing any threat to the environment or human health compared to other conventional products.
What is TDF?
TDF stands for Tire Derived Fuel in which rubber is used to replace or compliment other fuel sources for manufacturing facilities like paper mills, cement kilns, and other boilers or waste incinerators.
Why recycle instead of using it for TDF?
The preferred management for solid waste is first waste prevention, followed by recycling, then incineration as fuel, and finally land disposal. TDF should only be considered when tires cannot be completely recycled. Recycling would conserve materials saving new resources from being used while protecting the environment.
Other than rubber, what else is derived from tires?
The two other main materials are steel and fiber that can be reused in other applications requiring the material.
