The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) has a report called, Managing End-of-Life Tires that has some excellent information. Also check out the ETRMA reports on tire recycling.

Regarding equipment, there are just a handful of companies that produce a complete plant. I reccomend Granutech, CM, Eldan & Pallmann. The equipment is expensive however there are also some very good consultants that can put together plants using modules from several vendors to fit your needs.

I agree that devulcanization technology will greatly increase the number of tires that are recycle. Right now over half the world’s tires are burnt.

Trey wrote: “Tires have metal in the rim and in lead weights to keep wheels aligned. ”

Wrong: Tires have metal belts, cordage and metal beads– namely steel. The lead weights are never attached to the tire as they are attached to the metal wheels (steel or aluminum alloy) which are sometimes incorrectly called rims but are separated from the tires before recycling.

And the lead weights are not for alignment but are designed to correct static and dynamic imbalance in rotating mass.

Dude, I recycle all these items daily.

I recently traveled to Amarillo, Texas for a college graduation. We were driving around Amarillo and my friend showed me a large drainage area built like a cool duck pond. I think it is owned by the city of Amarillo and it is used for flood control.
As I was looking at the area I noticed a huge amount of tires down in the water and surrounding area. My son said jokingly, there’s a tire store around here. Sure enough, when we got to the stop sign I noticed a Discount Tire Company on the street side. That should be illegal to just dump their tires in that flood control area. Not only is it an eyesore, but it is dangerous for the environment and they could be recycled.
I was really disgusted.
Thanks,
Marie
