tyre shredding
Our state-of-the-art shredding facility is equipped to handle large volumes of scrap tyres efficiently and safely.
what is waste tyre shredding?
Waste tyre shredding is the process of reducing used tyres into smaller, more manageable pieces using mechanical shredders. This process is essential for managing the vast amounts of waste generated by discarded tyres, which pose significant environmental and health risks. Shredding waste tyres involves several stages, including primary shredding, secondary shredding, and sometimes granulation and milling, depending on the desired end product.

Benefits of Waste Tyre Shredding
Environmental Benefits
- Reduction in Landfill Use: Shredding tyres significantly reduces their volume, decreasing the space required for landfill disposal.
- Prevention of Pollution: Properly managed shredded tyres prevent toxic substances from leaching into the soil and groundwater, protecting ecosystems.
- Reduction in Illegal Dumping: Shredding makes tyres easier to manage and recycle, discouraging illegal dumping practices.
Resource Recovery and Recycling
- Material Reuse: Shredded tyres can be processed into various products, such as rubber mulch, playground surfaces, athletic tracks, and asphalt additives.
- Energy Recovery: Shredded tyres can be used as Tire Derived Fuel (TDF) in industrial facilities, providing a high-energy alternative to fossil fuels.
Health and Safety Benefits
- Mosquito Control: Shredding eliminates the stagnant water that often collects in whole tyres, reducing breeding grounds for disease-carrying mosquitoes.
- Fire Hazard Reduction: Shredded tyres are less likely to catch fire and are easier to extinguish if a fire does occur, compared to whole tyre piles.
Waste tyre shredding is a vital process that addresses the environmental, economic, and health challenges posed by discarded tyres. By converting waste tyres into valuable materials and energy sources, shredding not only mitigates the negative impacts of tyre waste but also promotes sustainable practices and contributes to the circular economy.
