Such blocks can be used for a number of purposes: erosion and flood control, sub-foundation stabilizers, etc. The blocks are made fire-resistant and last for more than 200 years.<br \/>\nStone constructions are usually used for erosion control, but they were difficult to build and transport. Recycled car tires perform this function both in and out of water very well, and such an approach can recycle from 1,000 tires a day.<\/li>\n<li>Eco-friendly home decks.<br \/>\nRubber-polyethylene resin boards can serve well as home decks. They withstand extreme temperatures and need little maintenance. Besides that, the material doesn\u2019t get damaged by insects or weather conditions, lasting for about 25 years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ground_and_Railroad_Materials\"><\/span>Ground and Railroad Materials<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Railroad tires.<br \/>\nRubber-wrapped railroad tires are made in layers to provide maximum durability. About 80 lbs of ground rubber is put on a concrete-steel beam, making it more than 200% stronger than regular tires. Such ties last for up to 90 years, saving railroads a large amount of money on using and replacing them.<\/li>\n<li>Railway lines.<br \/>\nAnother use of recycled car tires for railroads is railway lines. Rubber is a perfect material for this purpose, as it has great vibration-absorbing qualities.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_50\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.utires.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Rubber-Flooring-Tiles-300x225-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Rubber flooring tiles\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-50\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rubber flooring tiles<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li>\n<li>Rubber floors.<br \/>\nRecycled car tires can be used to create rubber flooring that has gained much popularity, due to its wide variety of designs and colors. There are both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruce.com\/durability-of-rubber-flooring-tiles-1314691\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pros and cons<\/a> of this material, but the fact that it lasts up to 30 years attracts many people. Such floors don\u2019t have to be waxed, as the material is nonporous. Moreover, no special products are needed to clean such floor, keeping the air inside mostly chemical-free.<\/li>\n<li>Rubberized asphalt.<br \/>\nThe ground rubber made from recycled can be also\u00a0added to\u00a0asphalt to improve the road. Rubberized asphalt prevents the road damage, saving money on maintenance. The material is also noise-absorbing, so <a href=\"http:\/\/driveasphalt.org\/noise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">road sounds are reduced by as much as 7 decibels<\/a>. By 2005, about 7.4 million used tires were used for building\u00a0new highways.<\/li>\n<li>Playground elements.<br \/>\nRubber absorbs shock from collisions, which makes it a perfect material for matts, running tracks, and playground equipment. Recycled car tires are clean, money-saving, durable, and require little maintenance; they can also be easily installed over any other material used previously.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tire-Derived_Fuel\"><\/span>Tire-Derived Fuel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Every tire contains 5 gallons of oil, and about 40% of the whole amount of recycled car tires goes to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.waste360.com\/mag\/waste_wasteenergy_turning_tires\">alternative fuel use<\/a>. Its efficiency is 25% higher than that of coal, and the heavy metal containment in the ash from tire-derived fuel is lower than of some coals. Athough it emits harmful chemicals into the air, it\u2019s still used as a kind of alternative fuel, burning within special machines that don\u2019t allow many harmful emissions. TDF is mostly used in paper factories, electric utilities, cement kilns, etc.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_52\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-52\" style=\"width: 445px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.utires.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/tdf-markets.jpg\" alt=\"U.S. tire-derived fuel market 2015\" width=\"445\" height=\"408\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-52\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">U.S. tire-derived fuel market 2015.

About 300 million tires are scrapped annually, at the rate of 1.1 tire per person, per year.<\/p>\n<p>About 233 million tires are recycled every year by shredding, cryogenic grinding, liquid nitrogen exposure, devulcanisation process, etc.<\/p>\n<p>The tires are taken from landfill and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.utires.com\/articles\/companies-buy-used-tires-retreading-reselling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">companies that buy used\u00a0tires<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from chemical treatment, tires undergo the following procedures at recycling plants:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Steel liberation.<br \/>\nSteel wires from tires are removed to leave only rubber for further processing. The metal derived is then used for other recycling purposes.<\/li>\n<li>\n<figure id=\"attachment_41\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-41\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.utires.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/tire-shredding-machine-300x225-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-41\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A tire shredding machine.

Nitrogen and cryogenic treatments can turn shredded pieces into fine powder. Devulcanization will make it hard enough to be turned into mulch or crumb rubber.<\/li>\n<li>Screening.<br \/>\nAt this stage, recycled car tires are checked for wire and fiber leftovers. There have to be none, as the rubber has to be clean for further usage.<\/li>\n<li>Cleaning.<br \/>\nAll the rubber is then cleaned with water and special cleaning products. When the rubber is clean, it\u2019s packaged and shipped to the companies that use it for manufacturing goods.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Recycling_Car_Tires\"><\/span>Benefits of Recycling Car Tires<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>It offers a wide variety of products.<br \/>\nThere is a great variety of products made from recycled car tires that can be more beneficial than traditional ones. For example, rubberized asphalt is less prone to cracks and absorbs more noise.<\/li>\n<li>It converts waste to energy.<br \/>\nThe example of tire-derived fuel shows that waste can literally be transformed into energy. It isn\u2019t so eco-friendly, but it can remove scrap tires from landfill and save money on fuel.<\/li>\n<li>Recycling saves energy and natural resources.<br \/>\nLess energy is used to produce reclaimed rubber or other materials from recycled car tires, in comparison to virgin resins. It also saves rubber trees, as the demand for new raw material is decreasing.<\/li>\n<li>It reduces pollution.<br \/>\nWater pollution is reduced by cleaning lakes, rivers, and other water bodies of illegally dumped tires. The same goes for woods and other places that can\u2019t store tires or other types of waste without inevitable harm.<br \/>\nCarbon footprint is reduced by 4 to 20 times with the usage of recycled car tires.<br \/>\nGreenhouse gas emissions are also reducing dramatically due to tire recycling. For instance, 4 repurposed tires can reduce about 323 pounds of CO2 (or 18 gallons of gasoline).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_Facts_About_Tire_Recycling_in_the_US\"><\/span>More Facts About Tire Recycling in the US<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>in the 1980s, the US landscape was covered with over 2 billion scrap tires, but about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mnn.com\/lifestyle\/recycling\/blogs\/americas-tire-mountains-90-percent-are-gone-thanks-to-recycling-programs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">90% of that is gone<\/a> due to recycling.
