Reclaimed rubber

CPC v2.1 Code: 36210

About reclaimed rubber

cpc code 36210 covers the industry of reclaimed rubber production. Reclaimed rubber is a valuable commodity in the broader rubber and plastics industry, as it allows for the reuse and recycling of rubber materials that would otherwise be discarded. This industry plays a crucial role in promoting sustainability and reducing waste, while also providing a cost-effective alternative to virgin rubber for various applications.

Production process

The production of reclaimed rubber involves a series of mechanical and chemical processes. The main steps include collecting and sorting used rubber products, shredding or grinding the rubber into smaller pieces, and then subjecting it to high heat and pressure to break down the molecular structure. This process, known as devulcanization, allows the rubber to be reused and incorporated into new rubber products.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the reclaimed rubber industry include used tires, rubber hoses, conveyor belts, and other rubber waste materials. Additionally, the industry requires specialized machinery and equipment for the shredding, grinding, and devulcanization processes, as well as various chemical additives to enhance the properties of the reclaimed rubber.

Production outputs

The primary output of the reclaimed rubber industry is the reclaimed rubber material itself, which can be used in the production of 36000 Rubber and plastics products, such as tires, hoses, and other rubber-based goods. The reclaimed rubber may also be used in the production of 35000 Chemicals, where it can be further processed and incorporated into a variety of chemical compounds.
