We have,through our diverse and consistent efforts,turned our planet into a dustbin.Every waste-whether recyclable or non-recyclable is dumped when we want and where we want.It’s the non-recyclable waste that has put us all right in the centre of a growing menace of too much waste,and not enough space to dump it in.The degradation has surpassed itself and now we are finally forced to find ways to eliminate the waste,especially the toxic rubber.All the rivers have already been used up for the purpose,so the only alternative left was to re-use rubber.The results have been ironically remarkable.
Reclaiming assists in recycling the rubber partially which makes us take the right step,i.e.using waste rubber.Rubber tires are slow decomposers,thus leading to environmental pollution.It also reaches the ground level to contaminate our water.But what was once polluting the environment is now actively being used to save it.The three current methods of reclaiming are thermal-mechanic,dispersion and water-neutral method.And this is how rubber is helping our environment on a daily basis:
•With the annual rise in rubber waste and tires,the landfills were choked up and many illegal spaces were created to be filled with rubber waste.This is on a decrease since the recycled rubber system has started.
•
•Recycled rubber even costs 50%less than the regular rubber and in some ways,it’s actually better than the regular rubber.
•
•The manufacturing process of reclaimed rubber is definitely less polluting to the environment than the manufacturing of its source.This helps us choose the good version of rubber and save our environment.
•
•Rubber itself can be used for a much longer period of time by simply taking care of it.Reparation and maintenance go a log way in keeping it health and thus,reducing the overall rubber wastes of the planet.You can purchase re-treaded tires or rotate tires.
•
•Crumb rubber is added to the sludge of municipal sewage to trigger its composting abilities.This reduces costs too,because it can be reused as it doesn’t disintegrate.Crumb rubber,when added to mulch,controls the temperature and moisture of the soil and also reduces the pesticide usage.Reclaimed rubber is great for our land and for maintaining its quality.
•
•Your beautiful landscape will maintain itself with the use of recycled rubber.You’ll see a fall in insects,rodents and weed growth.The soil compaction is reduced and the drainage greatly improved.
•
•The numerous things that reclaimed rubber is good for are carpets,flooring,roadways and also household products such as floor tiles,baskets,door mats as well as decorative items.This reduces rubber waste tremendously.
It all depends on how we wish to view something and how we wish for it to be utilized.People have woken up to this phenomenon.Now you’ll see more of the formerly dumped rubber that had become evil,being used for the good of the environment.The best part is that we all use reclaim rubber in our daily lives.Let us all take out the poison from rubber and make it our friend.
