With more than 1.5 billion scrap tires produced each year worldwide, tire recycling has become an important industry for environmental protection and resource recovery. One of the most effective ways to recycle tires is to convert them into rubber powder (granulated rubber), which can be used in various industries. This article explores how a tire recycling plant works, the production process of rubber powder, and the economic and environmental benefits of this sustainable solution.

Why recycle tires?

Discarded tires cause serious environmental hazards, including:

- Landfill contamination (non-biodegradable, fire risk).

- Mosquito breeding grounds (water trapped in tires).

- Toxic emissions from improper burning.

Recycling tires into rubber powder helps:

✔ Reduce waste and reliance on landfills.

✔ Recover valuable materials (rubber, steel, fiber).

✔ Reuse rubber into new products, supporting a circular economy.
