Most reclaimed rubber made into auto/cycle tire in China
With a huge number of wasted tires produced in China every year, it has been becoming a more and more important question that how to re-use reclaimed rubber.
Statistics from China Rubber Industry Association said that China’s reclaimed rubber production and sale showed two-digital number of growth in 2013, and the whole industry’s revenue realized over 30% growth in the same period.
As the largest rubber importer, China needs to import over 80% of nature rubber every year. Once reclaimed rubber would be widely used in China, it would be to some extend to reduce China’s rubber import, said analysts.
The chart showed that China’s reclaimed rubber is mostly used to produce auto tires and cycle tires, which is friend to the environment and inner resource.
