TireScrap.org is an independent information resource built to explain what actually happens to a tyre during recycling — from collection through shredding, crumb rubber, pyrolysis, tyre-derived fuel, retreading, and the recovery of steel and fabric belts.
Why We Built This
Most people know a tyre gets “recycled” but not what that actually involves — the shredding, the magnets, the pyrolysis chambers, the cement kilns. We built this site to walk through the real process, stage by stage, from collection to finished product.
Part of the ScrapTrade Network
TireScrap.org is part of the ScrapTrade network — an online scrap trading marketplace connecting verified buyers and sellers of scrap metal, e-waste, batteries, and more. Where this site focuses on explaining the tyre recycling process itself, ScrapTrade is where the steel wire recovered along the way gets bought and sold: list once, compare real offers, and get paid through secure escrow.
What We’re Not
We’re not a tyre recycling facility, retreader, or waste hauler, and we don’t handle collection or processing directly through this site — this is an information resource. For actual tyre disposal or recycling services, contact a licensed local operator; for trading the scrap metal recovered from processing, head to ScrapTrade.
Tyre recycling recovers far more material than most people realise — rubber, steel, and fabric each follow a distinct path from collection to end product. ScrapTrade connects verified buyers and sellers of the scrap metal recovered along the way, with transparent weighing and escrow-protected payments.
