The Life Cycle of a Tire
Old tires are recycled into Porous Pave, a sustainable paving solution. Tires are shredded, mixed with stone, and transformed into durable, eco-friendly paths, reducing waste and benefiting the planet.
Ever wonder what happens to old tires when they’ve rolled their last mile? For many, the unfortunate answer is landfills, incinerators, and a lot of wasted potential. But for some fortunate tires, life doesn’t end at the junkyard or burning as fuel. It's just the beginning of an eco-friendly adventure with Porous Pave!
Let’s take a closer look at how a tire transforms from scrap to a sustainable solution.
After years of running highways and hugging curves, tires wear out. But instead of heading to a landfill, many tires are now getting a second chance thanks to recycling programs that collect and shred them into reusable materials.
During this step, the rubber is shredded into small, versatile pieces, while the steel belting is extracted using magnetic separators for recycling. With the steel removed, these rubber crumbs become the key ingredient in Porous Pave’s signature blend. Not only does this process keep mountains of tires out of landfills, but it also gives the rubber a new purpose!
The shredded rubber blends with stone aggregate and a specialized proprietary binding agent to create the remarkable material known as Porous Pave. This mix is the perfect blend of durability, permeability, and eco-friendliness.
Whether it’s a park pathway, a water feature, or a tree surround Porous Pave takes its final form as a beautiful, functional, and sustainable paving solution. It’s slip-resistant, stormwater-friendly, flexible, and customizable to suit any project.
Within the Porous Pave product, the recycled tire helps manage stormwater, reduce heat, and create low impact, durable spaces. It’s a win-win for the planet and the people who use it.
When you choose Porous Pave, you’re not just paving. You're making a positive impact. Together, we’re giving tires a second life and creating a greener future.
Let’s continue to pave a better future, one tire at a time.
