During processing, the tyres are mechanically granulated, removing all metal and synthetic fibres, as well as any other foreign part contained in there, so as to produce a 99,99% clear rubber. This is how the end-products are produced, namely rubber granulates of almost absolute purity, clear of fibres and metals.

Specifically, rubber granules (SBR) can be used in a variety of constructions such as:

• Construction of rubber flooring, rubber matting
• Construction of playgrounds (rubber matting-rubber tiles), sport facilities, football courts, 5 x 5 courts, race courses, tartans
• Construction of roadways where rubber powder (SBR)can be mixed with other components to create a substrate
• For sound insulating properties (sound reduction)
• Construction of barriers for the rivers

By-products resulting from such process are scrap steel and recycled textile. RETIRE ABEE is the only tyre recycling company with a separate production line of powder with a size below 0,5 mm. The machinery processes and produces end-products of maximum purity (99,99%), utilizing the most advanced ventilation filters in order to have uniform and fully marketable end-products.
