Tyre Waste Reborn: New Facility Transforms Scrap
24 Aug
Summary
- New reclaim rubber facility construction has begun.
- Facility uses scrap tyres and rubber waste as raw materials.
- Recovered rubber can replace virgin rubber in new products.
A significant development in rubber recycling is underway in Palakkad, Kerala, as Terra Rubber, a subsidiary of Tolins Tyres, has begun construction on a new Reclaim Rubber manufacturing facility. This facility represents a crucial step towards sustainable rubber production.
The plant's core operation involves transforming discarded materials, such as scrap tyres and rubber compound waste, into valuable resources. It employs a controlled devulcanisation process to achieve this.
This advanced process allows for the recovery of usable rubber from waste. The resulting reclaimed rubber can then be effectively utilized as a partial replacement for virgin rubber in various rubber compounds, contingent upon the specific requirements and performance standards of the end products.
