Scientoon on Tyres can be recycled
A team of researchers from India and Germany has devised a new process to retrieve almost all
different types of rubber from used and discarded vulcanised scrap rubber. The process not only
reclaims a high amount of rubber but also is of superior the quality which can be repurposed into
other products including making new tyres.
