A World Free of Dangerous Materials
Clean Rubber
The accumulation of tire piles has been an alarming source of concern to society's intent on living in a clean and healthy environment. Each household discards approximately one tire per year per person. Many get illegally dumped in woods, lakes, storage units and landfills.
Turn dirty tires into a clean rubber raw material.
Many recycling plants can process up to 25 thousand tons of scrap tires per year into clean rubber, creating no emissions of any kind, no smoke or gas of any kind, just 99.7% clean rubber.
It's in the bag
N.Y.C. accounts for 2.7% of the plastic waste stream in the country. In order to make a difference consumers need to know what kind of bags to recycle and where to return them. It's preferable to return clean and dry bags to a retailer location or drop off center. This way bags will not be contaminated by organic matter such as cans, bottles, beverage cartons and metal.
Here is a sample of bags that can and should be recycled:
- Newspaper bags
- Dry cleaning bags
- Bread bags
- Food storage wrap
- Electronic wrap
- Grocery bags
- All bags labeled #2 and #4.
We can all make a difference!
Tires and plastic bags are recycles into many different products, eliminating the threat of hazardous pollution.
Tires are composed of three components; steel line, fiber and rubber powder. They can create new tires, basketball courts and running tracks, new shoe products, rubber tile and asphalt to name a few.
Many plastic bags are recycled into composite lumber or post, consumer resin, pallets and crates, they can become stock for new bags, containers, and pipes.
It can also create employment in your community for adults with disabilities, with the need for collecting and sorting plastic material.
Make it happen
I believe there should be mandatory recycling of tires and plastic bags in every community.
