Description	The process begins by grinding scrap tire to a fine particle size, and removing steel and fabric. Key to this approach is a proprietary surface-modification step which is critical for enhancing the compatibility with and bonding to other, continuous phase matrix materials. Of all approaches for scrap tire rubber reuse, this approach offers the potential to recover (or save) the greatest amount of energy. Furthermore, this is the only approach which is clearly economically viable with current pricing and without a scrap tire tax. The process is environmentally innocuous, and capital requirements for large scale processing plants are projected to be modest.
