We've all been there - driving along, when the tire pressure warning light comes on. A screw in the tire! Unfortunately, when my tire was being patched yesterday, cracks were found, and to make a long story short I had to buy four new tires. So, what's the tire disposal fee for on my receipt? Recycling and landfill diversion efforts, of course! Recycled tires can be used for so many things! Here's the breakdown: TDF (Tire-Derived Fuel): Used in power plants and cement kilns. TDA (Tire-Derived Aggregate): Used in public works projects. Rubber Mulch: For playgrounds and landscape beds. Crumb Rubber: For artificial turf fields and athletic tracks. Rubber Powder: To create new rubber and plastic products. Steel: Recycled for new steel products. Fiber and Nylon: Used in stucco, concrete, and carpet manufacturing. So, next time you get a new tire, or four, know that your old ones are being put to good use! #rema #recycledmaterials #recyclingindustry #tirerecycling #tdf #tda #rubbermulch #crumbrubber #rubberpowder #steel

Metal recycling is an important step towards a sustainable future. When it comes to the metal recycling bin, there are several items that can be included. These include steel, aluminium, cans, sheets & off-cuts, mixed metal scrap, metal cut-offs , copper, brass, and various other metal scraps. By recycling these materials, we can reduce the demand for raw resources and minimize the environmental impact of metal production. Whether it's aluminium casting, metal casting, or alloys, all types of metal scrap can find a new life through recycling. In Australia, particularly in Sydney, there are various scrap yards and recycling facilities where you can responsibly dispose of your metal scraps. So, join the scrap life and contribute to a greener tomorrow by recycling your metal waste.

Are you debating between a concrete or plastic septic tank? Let's break down the pros and cons for each to help you make an informed decision! 🏗️🚽 Concrete Septic Tank: - Longevity: Concrete tanks are known for their durability and can last for 40 years with proper maintenance. - Stability: The weight of concrete provides stability, making it less likely to shift or float in the ground. - Environmentally friendly: Concrete is a natural material that is recyclable and eco-friendly. Plastic Septic Tank: - Installation: Plastic tanks are easier to install due to their lightweight nature. - Cost-effective: Plastic tanks are typically cheaper upfront, making them a budget-friendly option. - Maintenance: Plastic tanks are less susceptible to corrosion and cracks, reducing the need for frequent repairs. Ultimately, the choice between concrete and plastic septic tanks depends on factors such as budget, location, and personal preference. Whichever option you choose, regular maintenance is key to ensuring the longevity and efficiency of your septic system! #SepticTank #ConcreteVsPlastic #HomeMaintenance #ExpertAdvice https://lnkd.in/gsw8pYvC

Vulcanization 101 ⚛️ Vulcanization is a transformative manufacturing process that involves exposing recycled crumb rubber and curing agents to high heat and pressure. Conducted in a carefully controlled environment, vulcanization activates and cross links the natural elastomers found within rubber, fusing them together in a way that enhances the physical properties and performance of our rubber products. The outcome? A dense, almost indestructible and impenetrable rubber flooring product. From recreational and residential products to agriculture and commercial applications, NWR's vulcanization process elevates our rubber performance to extraordinary levels.

Do you know what wood plastic is? It is a new type of composite material that has flourished in recent years, referring to the use of polyethylene, polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride, etc., instead of the usual resin adhesives, and more than 50% of wood flour, rice husk, straw and other waste plant fibers mixed into new wood materials, and then through extrusion, molding, injection molding and other plastic processing processes, the production of sheets or profiles. Outdoor use, moisture resistance, aging resistance, the surface to achieve wood-like effect, positioning is to do outdoor wood substitute. It is closer to nature than stone, more water resistant and durable than wood, more grade and atmosphere than cement, and more environmentally friendly than rubber pellet floor.
