Resource recovery from used rubber tires
Open accessAbstract
Including car, truck, bus, and airplane tires, 266 million tires were scrapped in the US in 1996 (Scrap Tire Management Council (STMC), 1997.). More than three-quarters of these tires were used as fuel, recycled for material applications, or exported. The remainder accumulates in junkyards or landfills where they pose a fire hazard and provide a breeding ground for disease carrying rodents and insects. Using information on scrap tire composition and the current markets using them, we examine the technologies used to recover their value either for energy or as rubber. As the majority of scrap tires are used as fuel, we calculate their life cycle energy budget considering both the energy consumed for tire production and the energy recovered from their use as fuel. Based on our findings, we draw some preliminary conclusions on how to maximize value recovery from this ubiquitous artifact of industrial societies.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
