It be a difficult process to recover rubber, but there are several reasons why rubber should be reclaimed. Recovered rubber is often half the cost of natural or synthetic rubber and it has some properties that are better than those of virgin rubber. Producing rubber from recycling requires less energy in the total production process than virgin material, and it is an excellent way to dispose of unwanted rubber products.
According to the the European Landfill Directive whole tyres and shredded tyres can no longer be sent to landfill for disposal. About 70% Britain's removed tyres are diverted from landfill, 26% are reused as re-treads, 46% are reclaimed for other forms of reuse or recycling such as chemical recovery; the process of heating waste rubber reclaim, treating it with chemicals and then processing the rubber mechanically. Untreatable rubber is incinerated for 'energy recovery', which is a low-grade, undesirable option that cannot be achieved without pollution and contribution to climate change. The rest (28%) is landfilled or stockpiled, and represents a major waste problem.
