Tire-Derived Fuel (TDF)
Shredded scrap tires can be used as a supplement for traditional fuels in industrial processes, such as in cement kilns and paper mills.
Each year, a significant number of old tires burden the environment. Recycling them allows us to produce valuable materials that can be used in various aspects of our lives.
Recycled tires can be transformed into a wide variety of useful and innovative products. Here are some popular items made from recycled tires:
Shredded scrap tires can be used as a supplement for traditional fuels in industrial processes, such as in cement kilns and paper mills.
This is commonly used as a ground cover for playgrounds and gardens. It provides better shock absorption than wood chips and helps reduce weed growth.
Ground-up tires are used to create crumb rubber, which can be used in athletic tracks, artificial turf fields, and as a component in asphalt for road construction.
This fine powder is used in various applications, including as a filler in plastics, rubber products, and even in new tires.
Durable and versatile, rubber mats made from recycled tires are used in gyms, industrial settings, and as anti-fatigue mats.
Recycled tires are used to create safe, resilient surfaces for playgrounds, reducing the risk of injuries.
Recycled tires can be used to create durable and long-lasting railroad ties, which are more resistant to weather and wear than traditional wooden ties.
Tire-derived aggregate (TDA) is used in various civil engineering projects, such as retaining wall backfill, slope stabilization, and road repair.
Creative uses for recycled tires include making furniture, sculptures, and decorative items.
