The Routhier process uses state-of-the-art technology and practices
to provide 100 percent recycling of discarded rubber tires.
Each tire goes through a culling process, where steel rims and
inner tubes are removed. Some tires may be salvaged for reuse
as used tires. The steel rims are recycled in foundries, where
they are melted down and then processed into recycled products
in the iron and steel industries. The inner tubes are sold to
be reprocessed |
|
by the rubber industry. The rubber tires are sent through a
multi-step process which includes the use of major shredding
and screening equipment. Much of the processing equipment was
designed and/or modified to optimize the Routhier recycling
process. The rubber tires are processed into shredded rubber
products. The Routhier operations currently process over 6,000,000
tires per year into tire-derived materials.
