Abstract
Change in the rubber recycling sector has been led mainly by the increasingly stringent quality requirements of rubber processors and the imposition of environmental regulations. The survivors have been innovative recyclers who took advantage of legislation encouraging recycling and restricting landfill. These initiatives have led to a growth in rubber recycling. Vredestein Rubber Recycling, for example, operates an ISO 9001-registered continuous automated recycling plant which turns out a very uniform high quality product range. The list of recyclables has been extended to include SBR, NBR and EPDM by the introduction of surface activated crumb technology.
