objective of tyre recycling?

want find objective of tyre recycle

Answer:

To get rid of them. They really can't be used as is.
Discarded tires, due to their “lighter than dirt” density, tend to float in landfills. As they are discarded, and buried in trash and land fill cover, the tires work their way upward and come to rest on the surface of the landfill. It would be like trying to dispose of Styrofoam in the bottom of a lake - soon the entire lake would be covered in floating Styrofoam. Obviously, this is less than desirable; for this reason, landfills are refusing to accept discarded tires. Because they cannot be disposed of in a landfill, we need to find another method of disposal. There are several methods that I am familiar with – the best being the burning of the tires to capture the energy in the tire components. I worked with a cement company that shredded used tires and mixed those with anthracite coal to heat the kilns that produce cement. The scrubbers on the furnace were more than adequate to handle any pollution issues from burning the tire chunks. In fact, the tires are, in many aspects, cleaner than the burning of just coal. Other uses include using finely shredded tires as cushioning for children’s playground, making large nets for landscaping, etc.
