Types of Rubber Waste
- Tyre Waste: From vehicles; the largest source of rubber waste.
- Industrial Rubber Waste: Scraps/by-products from manufacturing.
- Consumer Rubber Waste: Gloves, mats, footwear, etc.
Importance of Rubber Waste Management
- Conserves Resources: Recycling reduces the need for natural rubber.
- Boosts Economy: Creates jobs and products from recycled rubber.
- Protects Environment: Prevents pollution and supports efficient waste management.
Key Components of Rubber Waste Management
Collection and Sorting
Gathering rubber waste and sorting by type ensures proper recycling and minimizes landfill use.
Shredding and Size Reduction
Using twin shaft shredders to break down rubber into smaller pieces for easy processing.
Recycling and Repurposing
Shredded rubber is reused in mats, playground surfaces, and asphalt, encouraging a circular economy.
Energy Recovery
Non-recyclable rubber is processed via pyrolysis to produce synthetic gas and oil, reducing fuel dependency.

Twin Shaft Shredders
Breaks down large volumes of rubber waste into smaller fragments for recycling.
Raspers for Tyre Waste Recycling
Used after initial shredding to produce wire-free rubber chips (20-25 mm) from Tyre chips.
Benefits of Effective Rubber Waste Management
- Environmental Safety: Reduces pollution and protects ecosystems.
- Cost-Effective: Cuts disposal costs and produces new materials and energy.
- Sustainability: Encourages reuse, lowers reliance on raw rubber.
