Car tires are classified as high hazard waste. In particular, they are flammable and, in the event
of fire, are difficult to extinguish. Moreover, in the process of their combustion, such toxic
substances as chromium, benzopyrene, dioxin, furan, camdium, biphenyl, anthracene, pyrene and
much more are released into the air. In a natural way in nature, tires practically do not
decompose and therefore must be environmentally safe recycled.
The thermal installations fully comply with the requirements of the EU directive
No 2010/75 / EC for the environment.
Recycling tires with a thermal treatment of the thermal plant is an environmentally friendly and
economical method.
The problem of recycling and using worn-out tires is of great economic and environmental
importance. Worn tires out of service are a long-term source of environmental pollution, they are
not biodegradable and require a constant increase in storage space.
There is a continuous accumulation of used tires, and only about 20% of their number is
recycled. Worn tires represent the largest-tonnage product of polymer-containing waste that is
practically not subject to natural decomposition, therefore, the recycling and reuse of discarded
tires is of great economic and environmental importance. At the same time, worn-out tires are a
source of valuable secondary raw materials: rubber (rubber), soot (almost pure carbon), metal
and synthetic cord. 90% of all rubber-containing waste is in tires and represents a huge reserve of
raw materials. With the emerging irreplaceability of material resources in industry, the effective
use of secondary raw materials is of great importance. Tires are a valuable polymer raw material:
1 ton of tires contains about 1540 pounds of rubber, which can be reused for the production of
fuel, rubber products and materials for construction purposes. At the same time, if you burn 1 ton
of worn tires, 594 pounds of soot and 990 pounds of toxic gases will be released into the
atmosphere.
