Used Tire Recycling Project The main challenge is the creation and management of genuine e solutions for collecting and recycling end-of of-life tires 1. Energy recovery: : An end-of of-life tire represents an amount of heat energy comparable to that of good-quality coal: 30 to 34 MJ/kg. So one tonne of tires yields the same energy as 0.7 tonne of oil.The low level of sulfur (1%) contained in tires compared with certain types of coal (5%) make them a substitute fuel with less impact on the environment. 2. Material recovery: Michelin considers non-reusable end-of of-life tires to be recyclable items and is doing its utmost to change their image as waste, by developing their reuse in various forms. 3. Whole tires: : These are used as filling material for roads, retaining structures, ures, noise- abatement walls and as shock absorbers along jetties and quaysides. 4. Cut tires: : Cut tires are widely used as a supporting layer for rail tracks s to reduce noise and vibration. 5. Shredded tires: : In shredded form, they are mainly used as draining sub-layers or as light filling material in road construction. 6. Granulate and powder: : When ground into a granulate or powder, tires are used to make molded objects such as refuse containers and golf cart wheels. The powdered form can also be used to make surfaces for sports activities: stadiums, playground surfaces, etc. Similarly, the addition of powdered 405 rubber to road d surfaces helps to reduce tire/road contact noise and increase the life span of the surface.
