Our tire recycling conveyors deliver exceptional durability, strength, and longevity, year after year.

Tire recycling involves breaking down used tires to retrieve rubber, steel, and fibers. 

Reclaimed rubber, a major output of tire recycling, is used to pave roads, manufacture new tires, and create playground surfaces and landscaping materials. Not only does this industry help in waste reduction, but it also contributes to resource conservation by reducing the need for new raw materials.

1. The global tire recycling market size was valued at $12.9 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach $18.1 billion by 2032.
2. More than 1 billion waste tires, also known as End-of-Life Tires (ELTs), are generated across the world each year, accounting for 2% of total waste generated.
3. The U.S. alone generates approximately 280 million scrap tires each year.
4. Waste tires negatively impact the environment. Recycling them has a positive environmental impact.

Fluent Conveyors is proud to support tire recycling efforts with our line of high-quality conveyors.
