Methods for reducing solid waste by reusing discarded materials to make new products. The three integral phases of recycling are the collection of recyclable materials, manufacture or reprocessing of these materials into new products, and
 specialist has introduced a development that is said to open up new markets for scrap tire rubber and post-industrial waste rubber. Building on its patented CounterCure and SpillCure technologies, the company has engineered rubber substances said to have high value potential for various applications. While CounterCure allows companies to devulcanize their waste rubber and substitute it for virgin rubber in their masterbatch, SpillCure converts waste rubber into a substance that can be used as an oil absorbent absorbent /ab·sor·bent/ (-sor´bent)

Since SpillCure is designed to partially devulcanize waste rubber and allow rubber to swell and absorb oil, the company has advanced the technology further so that it also is said to make an ideal aggregate material because it mixes well, can absorb oil and chemicals, and can function as a controlled release material. SpillCure is said to be easily molded, and can be a delivery vehicle for consumer chemicals, such as pest repellents, anti-microbial agents, malodor control and agricultural additives.
