China's Waste Tire Market Development Status and Analysis of Supply and Demand


Tires are ground rolling, annular elastic rubber products that are assembled on various vehicles or machines. Waste tires are tires that are discarded or no longer used due to breakage or other reasons.

Tires are usually mounted on metal rims to support the body, cushioning external impact, achieving contact with the road surface and ensuring the vehicle's driving performance. Tires are often used under complex and demanding conditions. They are subjected to various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperatures when traveling. Therefore, they must have high load-bearing performance, traction performance, and cushioning performance. At the same time, it is also required to have high wear resistance and flex resistance, as well as low rolling resistance and heat generation. Half of the world's rubber consumption is used for tire production, showing the tire's ability to use rubber.

At present, the recycling of waste tires is mainly for direct use, such as: tire retreading; processing and utilization after comminution, such as production of rubber powder, reclaimed rubber; and thermal energy utilization, such as direct incineration power generation and pyrolysis. Among them, pyrolysis is a technology that cracks waste tires thoroughly into various available resources. After pyrolysis of waste tires, high value-added pyrolysis gas, pyrolysis oil, pyrolytic carbon, and steel wire can be obtained, which are currently used tires. The hotspot method of recycling is considered to be one of the most economical and optimal ways to dispose of used tires.

According to the research report on China's waste tire market analysis and investment prospects for 2017-2022 published by Booz Data, in 2015, the annual output of used tires in China was approximately 11 million tons, subject to the national standard “Motor Vehicle Operation Safety Technical Conditions” (GB7258) and With the impact of “three non-inclusive” (non-inclusive, non-replaceable, non-refundable) tires, nearly 70% of the tire retreading companies are in production or semi-discontinued state, and the number of tire retreading is expected to decrease by more than 50% year-on-year. Due to the impact of natural rubber prices and environmental protection, the demand for recycled rubber will be greatly reduced, and the production of recycled rubber will decline by about 30% from 2014. Enterprises with large-scale management standards will be supported by the state. The output of rubber powder is about 350,000 tons, of which 150,000 tons is used to produce modified asphalt.

In 2015, the import of used tires in China was based on the original number of pilots, and the number of pilots was expanded to ease the tension in the domestic carcass.

At present, China's waste tires, in addition to domestic waste tires, are also imported from the domestic waste tires. In 2015, the total supply of used tires in China was 5.011 million tons. Of which, about 0.5 million tons were imported, and the domestic recycling volume was about 5.006 million tons.

Scrap tires are a resource that can be reused. The level of recycling and comprehensive utilization of waste tires is one of the important signs of economic development in a country. Waste tires are used as solid waste. Stacking in the open air affects the environment and is called "black pollution." Its recycling is a worldwide problem. China is one of the countries with the largest amount of rubber used globally. The shortage of rubber resources has severely restricted the rapid development of the Chinese rubber industry, using waste tires, producing high-performance rubber raw materials that are clean and pollution-free, and capable of producing such rubber raw materials. Partial or complete replacement of natural.



High Precision Laser Cutting

This type of laser cutting is the most successful and effective practice to achieve quality clean edges and superior products. As opposed to more traditional methods (water jets, punches), laser cutting allows the material to be processed once with extraordinary accuracy and without any other interventions to get a finished piece. It also allows for less waste and is less time consuming, resulting in cleaner production and the ability to manufacture in greater quantities. No matter how complex or straightforward, we achieve the precise, fine cut, details your company needs.
