Tyre Recycling Industry

Introduction

In India, the tyre industry is highly developed being one of the largest tyre manufacturers and consumers worldwide thus produces more than 1 million tonnes of waste tyres annually. As the number of vehicles owned shifts and the cycle of replacements escalate so has the production of End-of-Life Tyres (ELTs). Unless scientifically disposed of, waste tyres become a real environmental hazard because they are neither biodegradable nor easily put off.

By setting up Tyre Recycling Plant it will be a greener and lucrative idea to recycle the scrap tyres and generate useful products such as Crumb Rubber, Tyre Pyrolysis Oil (TPO), Carbon Black and Steel Wire. The ministry of environment, forest and climate change (MoEFCC) and the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) have now introduced the regulations that make tyre recycling an Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) matter which there is great business potential in.

CERTILIZE offers end to end consultancy to establish an environmentally friendly and efficient, scalable, tyre recycling factory that employs either Crumb Rubber Manufacturing or Pyrolysis Technology or a combination of both. We are with you at each and every step, including registration, licensing, machinery, layout, EPR registration, and operational compliances.

Tyre Recycling Process

Crumb Rubber Process

• Tyre tyre Collection (Tyre tyre Sorting)

• Sawing & Steel Minting

• Chip Shredding

• Crumb Rubber destroying processes

• Magnetic & Fiber Separation

• Packing and Grading

End Product Applications: Rubber mats, road construction, sports turf, playgrounds and conveyor belts.

Process of Pyrolysis

• Sale of tyre & tyre cutting.

• Fueling Reactor

• 400 450 o C (in an oxygen-free atmosphere)

• Oil & Gas Conden sation

• Carbon Black Steel wire separation

• Product Storage and Product Dispatch

Uses of End products:

• Pyrolysis Oil: alternative fuel

• Pigments, paints: Carbon Black

• Scrap metal industry: Steel Wire

Market Overview

• The number of tyre wastes that are generated in India annually is over 1 million tonnes.
• The Crumb rubber is needed among the road contractors (RUBBERISED BITUMEN) and sporting infrastructure companies.
• Pyrolysis Oil is being used in huge extents as industrial energy in kilns, in boiler and in furnaces.
• Government has ensured that it is a compulsion that tyre producers and importers have to ensure that EPR is complied.
• The excellent demand of OEMs and exporters in having alkaline disposed by certified tyre recyclers.

EPR Benefits (Extended Producer Responsibility)

Under the CPCB’s Tyre EPR framework:

• The certified recyclers are able to produce and sell the EPR credits.
• Contributors/importers have to take recycling goals and buy credits.
• Obtain bulk contracts of tyre brands.
• Be on the list of authorized recyclers of CPCB.
