Powdered tires

Researchers quantify several environmental benefits associated with using ultra-fine scrap tire rubber powders in virgin and recycled rubber and plastics compounds.

Tires are in many ways an amazing high-tech product that has evolved for over a century into a product that attempts to find an optimal blend of safety, performance, comfort, and durability characteristics for an affordable price.

Based on their compositions, tires do wear and eventually have to be replaced. For decades now, it has been realized that scrap tires can be a significant burden and even a threat to the environment, especially if disposed of improperly.
