Turak Tyres scrap tyres recycling worldwide

Since the foundation of Turak Tyres in 2010, scrap tyres from Germany have been part of our daily business. We are specialized in the sale and export of used tires from Germany to countries where the climate allows tires with low tread depth.

Our goal

It has always been our aim to exhaust all possibilities of reusing used tyres, scrap and waste tyres that are prohibited for road traffic. Our next step is the export of used tyres abroad for material and thermal recycling.

Scrap Tyres recycling – Why is it so important?

Almost every individual in Germany owns a car, and every car needs appropriate maintenance, which includes replacing old tyres with new ones. A quick, general rule for calculating the annual waste tyre output is to count a single tyre per person living in Germany, which amounts to approximately 80 000 000.

Environmental pollution

Unfortunately, people still dispose of their used tyres in forests, lakes, abandoned places and illegal dumps. This leads to soil pollution and contaminates drinking water. Proper disposal and recycling of used tyres is therefore necessary to eliminate pollution and keep our drinking water clean.

The worldwide reuse of used tyres reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

The production of a single tyre and other chemicals increases the Carbon dioxide in the air. Carbon dioxide is also known as a greenhouse gas. Its significant increase has upset the atmospheric balance and is the main cause of Global Warming.
The global average surface temperature has risen from 0.6 to 0.9 degrees Celsius in the last 100 years. This has a drastic effect on the environment. Appropriate measures must be taken to reduce carbon dioxide level. Scrap tyres recycling of used tyres is very effective in this process and reduces the carbon footprint between four to twenty times compared to the use of new plastic resins.

The decomposition of used tyres produces valuable chemicals.

In the past scrap tyres recycling was difficult due to their almost indestructible nature. For this reason scrap tyres are used not only in Germany but also worldwide mainly for energy production. But that has changed in recent years. Today we produce retreaded tyres, playground surfaces, rubberised asphalt etc. from old tyres. here. We also recycle rare chemical compounds from scrap tyres in Germany.

Decomposing

Steel beads, which give the tyre its shape and structure, are reused in the making of new steel products
Gas produced by reduced pressure decomposition of the scrap tyre is also used in a number of ways
Oil is refined and used efficiently
Carbon black is also a valuable product used in polishes and paints

The yield we achieve yet from the pollution-free decomposition…

55% oil

25% carbon black

9% steel

6% gas

5% fibre

Scrap Tyres Recycling is useful for saving and making money

Disposing of old, worn tyres in some kind of dumpster seriously damages the environment and endangers not only our ecosystem but also our health.

You can achieve so much more with the correct disposal of used tyres!

Many tyre recycling factories pay you for your used tyres and as a side effect you help to keep your environment clean. In this way you can save your environment and earn money.
