More than 85% are perpetually overflowing our landfills, while the rest are recycled into shredded rubber with limit use. However, simultaneously, tires have become more expensive than ever to produce since the price of both natural rubber and carbon black, the key component of tire production, is continuously on the rise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efcbc482ca7805bc5e24940/1594964718947-GU9ZRPV7IHJQCMVGN3XJ/141ca1d29fe3b5f920b08f29aaf6badc.png Smart Tire Recycling - Mendel Bassman CEO & Co-Founder https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efcbc482ca7805bc5e24940/382150c4-8f99-4229-b523-0754117ab06e/Enick_pic.png Smart Tire Recycling - Robert Enick Consultant https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efcbc482ca7805bc5e24940/1593704443683-T0CCIYDDV3HZ7WUKZ08Y/3.jpg Smart Tire Recycling - Purpose Our zero-emission recycling process produces materials which are in high demand for commercial applications.
