Recently, Bridgestone announced that it has developed a waste tire recycling plan, aiming to recycle 600,000 tons of waste tires per year by 2050, which can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1.
46 million tons
per year.
Bridgestone said that at present, more than 90% of waste tires are recycled in Japan, but tires are made of rubber, steel, reinforcing fibers and other raw materials, which is difficult to completely recycle and reuse, and the cost of recycling is also high
.
As a result, more than sixty percent of used tires are incinerated, increasing CO2 emissions
.
To this end, Bridgestone is committed to recycling waste tires into raw materials
for chemical products such as synthetic rubber, carbon black and butadiene.
The company will jointly develop a technology
called "Precision Thermal Decomposition Chemical Recovery" with Synergy.
The goal is to thermally decompose used tires into an oily state, from which synthetic rubber and carbon black raw materials
can be used in tire manufacturing.
The company plans to build a production line with an annual output of 100,000 tons of waste tires by 2027~2030, and realize the commercialization
of waste tire recycling after 2030.
