What It Is: Tire shreds and chips are small rubber pieces produced during the tire recycling process. These materials are versatile and can be used in various applications due to their durability and elasticity.

Examples: Tire shreds and chips are commonly used in playground surfaces to create safe, cushioned areas for children. They are also utilized in rubberized asphalt for road construction, providing enhanced durability and noise reduction. Additionally, tire shreds can be found in sports fields, erosion control projects, and landscaping, where they contribute to sustainable practices and improved safety.

How It’s Used: The applications of tire shreds and chips not only promote safer recreational environments but also support infrastructure improvements. Recycling tires into shreds and chips helps reduce landfill waste and promotes a circular economy by repurposing materials that would otherwise be discarded, reinforcing the value of sustainability in tire management.
