Huge growth potential for recycled rubber.The announcement by the Ford Motor Co. and Michelin of research which proves that up to 10% recycled rubber can be used in new tires will have tremendous impact on the rubber recycling industry, says Fernly Smith, chairman of the Rubber Division's Rubber Recycling Topical Group. Smith said that adding 10% recycled rubber to new passenger and truck tires has the potential to use 370 million pounds of recycled rubber. He estimates that currently about 260 million pounds of recycled polymers are used annually in the U.S. in various rubber products and just a small percentage is used in new tire production.
