TIRECYCLE™ Technology in Advanced Recycling of Post Consumer Carpet

Abstract

The TIRECYCLE technology enables post-consumer carpet, at 100% grind, to be effectively co-reacted with post consumer cured scrap rubber to create families of useful molding and extrusion compounds, both thermoset and thermoplastic, with a broad range of properties. This talk reviews lessons learned from the well-established tire recycling industry, and discusses the principles, commercial operations, logistics and products of TIRECYCLE.
