How it works

From whole tyre to clean rubber

A mechanical process: cut, shred, grind and separate. Nothing is burned.

  1. I.

    Collect and sort

    Car and truck tyres from India and overseas are checked and sorted.

  2. II.

    Cut

    Tyres are cut down and the heavy bead wire is pulled out.

  3. III.

    Shred

    Shredders tear the rubber into coarse chips.

  4. IV.

    Granulate

    Chips are ground into granules and fine crumb.

  5. V.

    Separate

    Magnets pull out the steel, air lifts off fibre, and rubber is screened.
