General Outline
Orgin
Initial Manufacture
- Molded into a Vulcanized Rubber Tire
First Use Case
- As a Tire
Refurbishment?
- Can treads be "re-cut" if a tire is thick enough?
Recycling
End-of-Life
- Pyrolysis and/or Gasification in a Refinery
- This makes:
- TDF and/or chemicals
- Bottom Ash (likely)
- This makes:
Estimates
