TIRES AND RUBBER WASTE

 

Tires lose performance over time as a result of use. As the tread wears down, the tread depth of the rubber will also decrease. This can significantly increase braking distances and reduce the grip of the car, Once the tread depth reaches 1.6 millimetres, the tire should no longer be used and should be handed in to a collector or recycler. These tires are classified as hazardous waste and should not be disposed of with municipal waste. They cannot be disposed of during the waste collection and it is strictly forbidden to burn them or leave them in the countryside.

Comment

After 31 July 2023, waste tyres cannot be freely traded in Hungary This type of material can only be transported within the MOHU system. As Loacker is not yet part of the MOHU system, please contact MOHU directly: www.mohu.hu

RECYCLING AND RECOVERY OF USED TYRES AND WASTE RUBBER

The more sorted by type the waste tyres are, the more recyclable they are. Mixed rubber waste is pre-sorted and, depending on its quality and composition, is then made available for the following processing steps. Highly contaminated waste rubber is cleaned to make it suitable for recycling processes.

We work closely with processors who produce high quality rubber granulate, which is used to manufacture a wide range of products such as sports mats, insulation blankets, load securing/skid pads, noise barriers or infill for artificial turf sports fields.

Used tires or rubber waste that cannot be recycled into material are recycled for high quality thermal recycling.

 

TIRE RECYCLING – AN EFFICIENT CYCLE

Recycling and recovery of used tire parts

  • Rubber: Material recycling before thermal recycling, a number of processes give a second life to recyclable material.
  • Metals: melted down and added to new products.
  • Textiles: depending on their type, they are incinerated. In so-called thermal recycling, tires are incinerated without residues and provide large amounts of heat and energy.

Raw materials and energy are saved as the used tire is professionally processed into a valuable secondary raw material.

CONTRIBUTION TO THE ENVIRONMENT

Recycling used tires is one of the most environmentally friendly and transparent recycling processes. Processing into secondary raw materials has many advantages over incineration.

For example, the sulphur in the material remains in the tire and is not released into the atmosphere. This prevents the sulphur from being lost as acid rain and then over-acidifying soils. The use of recycled rubber dust instead of natural rubber leads to a reduction in land clearing for rubber plantations and thus has a positive impact on rainforest stocks. This leads to a reduction in CO₂ pollution, as rainforests absorb much more CO₂ than rubber plantations.

The rubber granulate obtained from processing is used as a secondary raw material in a variety of ways, e.g. as infill granulate in artificial turf, as asphalt in road construction, as rubber mats or as insulation and impact soundproofing.
