The TyreGencis process delivers three end products; rubber crumb,
steel and fibre.
Crumb: TyreGenics main product is rubber crumb
separated and graded for a variety of uses. Around 70 percent
of the plants output is used by our joint venture partner Field
Turf Tarkett who designs and manufactures the surfaces at some
of the world’s most famous sporting clubs and stadia including
the Denver Broncos, New York Jets and Barcelona’s Nou
Camp.
Steel:
Approximately 4000 tonnes of steel that is recovered during
the TyreGenics process is used by Welsh steel works to produce
a wide range of steel products.
Fibre:
Thousands (6,000) of tonnes of fibre extracted during our process
is recovered and sent to Curently landfill, but soon hopefully
to be used to produce energy. Other potential uses include insulation
and cattle bedding.
The company
has also installed practice grounds for the Welsh Rugby Union
at Hensol Park and many Premiership and Championship football
clubs including Leeds United and Chelsea.
Other uses
for the crumb include as a component in the manufacture of durable
recycled safety flooring systems, within specialist sound insulating
wall coverings and in the manufacture of other rubber products.
We receive
enquiries on a weekly basis from companies experimenting with
the use of crumb in the manufacture of many products where a
cost effective but highly environmentally responsible alternative
to rubber is required.
