Decrosslinking process
Recycling begins with the collection of rubber waste from various sources, including used tires, seals, hoses, and other discarded rubber products. Once cleaned, the rubber is shredded into granulate, small pieces that serve as the raw material for further processing.
The granulate undergoes a decrosslinking process, where the chemical bonds in the rubber are altered, making it viscous and ready for reuse. After cooling, this decrosslinked rubber is formed into sheets or strips, which can be compounded and manufactured into new rubber products such as car tires, rubber mats, conveyor belts, hoses, and vibration dampers.
This process not only helps in repurposing waste rubber but also contributes to a lower carbon footprint, making it a sustainable choice for producing rubber products with very high recycled content.
Waste-to-masterbatch
Rubber waste
Rubber waste is a significant environmental challenge, but it doesn’t have to be wasted. At ReRun, we specialize in transforming post-industrial and post-consumer rubber waste into valuable, reusable materials. Our process not only reduces waste but also offers significant savings on virgin materials, providing both ecological and economic benefits.
Masterbatch
Our masterbatch is a carefully developed product that allows the use of recycled rubber in new products, ensuring performance and quality are maintained. By decrosslinking rubber waste without degrading the material, we offer a cost-effective, sustainable alternative to virgin materials. This not only reduces environmental impact but also helps manufacturers lower production costs, while maintaining the high standards of their final products. Our masterbatch retains similar performance and properties to the original material.
Decrosslinking
Decrosslinking is the core process that enables us to efficiently recycle rubber materials without compromising their quality. By breaking the crosslinks in the rubber, we restore its ability to be reused in new products while maintaining performance and durability. This process helps reduce waste, preserve the material’s properties, and provide a sustainable alternative to virgin rubber. With decrosslinking, we offer manufacturers a way to reuse their rubber waste cost-effectively while lowering environmental impact.
Saving money
By using recycled rubber, manufacturers can save up to 30% on the cost of virgin materials. Our process ensures that the recycled rubber delivers the same performance as new material, allowing companies to reduce costs while contributing to sustainability. ReRun provides a cost-effective solution that helps businesses increase production efficiency and lower their environmental impact
