There are millions of cars on the road today. All those cars travel on tires. Tires are available in all shapes and sizes. Tires are required for both small and large vehicles. Most of the tires wear out after a certain time. You need to take some decisions when such things happens. You have to do something with it. In the tire outlets if you go there for buying new tires they generally take those tires off. They discard them sometimes. They also put them up for sale to people who are just looking for a spare.

What happens when a tire is recycled?

Tires can be a big waste at times. Most of the states are dotted by large tire firms. It actually consists of thousands of tires. Most of these tires are of little use. They can be ground up and turned to what is termed ?crumb.? These product are used mostly as filler.

Most landfills do not want used tires as they take a lot of space. As a result of decomposing waste material ,it can trap large amounts of methane gas. It then becomes buoyant and rise to the surface. The liners mainly keep the contents from damaging the groundwater in the area. Tires actually upset the process.

A number of companies is now starting to find more uses for these tires Ground up tires can be used as filler in landfills. They can also use this byproduct as a cap on landfills. These tires can be shredded onsite it is the only convenience.

Apart from landfills, Tires are also used in hot melt asphalt. These products are also used in replacing asphalt. It is also used in certain kinds of concretes as a filler. Many people use old tires around the home and in the garden. They are also used for making flowerbeds. They use the grindings as mulch in gardens.

New processes such as Pyrolysis can used to turn old tires in the fuel gas. Devulcanization is a process that uses old tires into crumb. Devulcanization is the method commonly used for turning old tires into crumb. New tires can be made with the help of this material. The cost of raw materials is reduced.

The process works by heating the tires whole or in shreds, in a huge vessel, in an oxygen free environment. The rubber softens and breaks down into smaller molecules. The molecules then vaporize leaving the reactor. The vapors are burnt to use as a power source.

This process is utilized by most of the companies. This is good for the environment and good for companies wanting a good source of this type of fuel.
