Introduction of rubber
Natural rubber is extracted from rubber producing plants, most notably the tree Hevea brasiliensis, which originates from South America. Nowadays, more than 90% of all natural rubber comes from these trees in the rubber plantations of Indonesia, the Malay Peninsula and Sri Lanka.
The common name for this type of rubber is Para rubber.
The rubber is extracted from the trees in the form of latex. The tree is tapped; that is, a diagonal incision is made in the bark of the tree and as the latex exudes from the cut it is collected in a small cup.
The average annual yield is approximately 2 kg per tree or 450kg per hectare, although special high-yield trees can yield as much as 3000kg per hectare each
year. The gathered latex is strained, diluted with water, and treated with acid to cause the suspended rubber particles within the latex to coagulate. After being pressed between rollers to form thin sheets, the rubber is air (or smoke) dried and is then ready for shipment.

rubbers, carbon, nylon or polyester cord, sulphur, resins and oil. During the tire making process, these are virtually vulcanized into one compound that is not easily broken down.

what is recycling.
Its literal meaning, is the procedure of making used or unwanted products in into new remanufactured products.
The procedure of recycling is unique in the sense that the products are recycled in such a way that the materials that are left after the remanufacturing are considered essential.
On the other hand, products such as, paper, plastic, glass, tin and some other textiles are all relatively easy for processing and thus the recycling process becomes highly efficient.

down to even smaller, granular sized pieces for use in a variety of products. Vulcanization :- The process of it is worth discussing, briefly, the molecular structure of rubber. Crude latex is made up of a large number of very long, flexible, molecular chains. If these chains are linked together to prevent the molecules moving apart, then the rubber takes on its characteristic elastic quality. This linking process is carried out by heating the latex with sulphur .There are two common vulcanizing Processes: Pressure vulcanization. Free vulcanization.

Steps of recycling(continue)
Pyrolysis:-Pyrolysis is a newer technique for tire recycling, in which tires are heated
in an oxygen-free environment. This breaks down the tires into oil, steel, and carbon black. Carbon black is a valuable ingredient in tires and other rubber and plastic products, and it can also be used in printer toner cartridges. Pyrolysis is still being tested for commercial use, but is a promising technique. Retreading:-Old, worn tires are often retreaded. The tread of the tire is the part that makes contact with the road. The process of retreading replaces the old, worn tread with a new one. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), retreading an old tire uses 70 percent less oil than producing a new tire. It is also 30 percent to 70 percent cheaper in cost per tire. These tires provide the same quality and safety as new tires. Mechanical Breakdown:-Tire recycling methods often involve mechanical breakdown. This means that the tires are shredded into small pieces, and then the steel fibers are removed. The leftover grounded rubber material can be used in several civil engineering applications. For example, many running tracks and even playground floors are made from shredded rubber, providing a softer, more shockabsorbent running surface.

while forbidding the garbage build up accompanied by landfill proliferation. Since materials are brought to a recycling facility they do not wind up in areas that do not have a place for them.
