Are technologies to recycle tires uniform, worldwide?
The benefit of similar practices for recycling scrap tires in different regions of the world is uniformity and a standard of quality for the end products. If the various components of tires (steel, nylon, and rubber mix (natural and synthetic rubber and silica)) can be recovered, then the quality of the output can be checked through testing coupons as per ASTM (the American Society of Testing and Materials).
