Complexity: Resolved
The history of tyres goes back some 175 years with a patented invention of Robert Thomson in 1846. Since then, worldwide they have evolved into complex products comprised of multiple elements.
Over 14 separate components including oils, wax, zinc oxide and anti-oxidants combine to make the tyres of today, ensuring that their de-construction has historically not been a straightforward process.
Ways to address the challenge have ranged from landfill (now illegal in the UK and Europe) through to environmentally damaging burning and bulk shredding amongst many others.
Protecting the World
Today the opportunity is to transform the way in which these tyres can be recycled, by the use of environmentally friendly, low power consumption, water based technology.
The Exo-Cubic solution has been specifically designed to not just change the way in which tyres are recycled but to do so through a new approach in utilising technology that in itself is optimised for environmental deployment.
This way Exo-Cubic customers can have confidence in a dual sustainable approach which embraces the optimum processes to reconstitute the tyre and on completion provide the widest range of fine gradients to ensure how they can be re-used.
