Steel Tire Wires

Efficient Steel Tire Wire Recycling for a Sustainable Future

Recycled Steel Tire Wire

As global economies continue to expand, the demand for steel is on the rise. Recycled steel tire wire, a crucial by-product of rubber tire recycling, plays a significant role in meeting this demand. Extracted from shredded tires used in the production of radial tires, this high-quality steel wire undergoes careful processing under strict quality control measures. Florida Tire Recycling contributes to the production of approximately 500 metric tons of steel wire scrap per month during full operations. Our commitment to environmental sustainability encompasses not only waste reduction but also the transformation of discarded tires into valuable resources. Through efficient processing and the delivery of wire baled in 2-ton packs, we prioritize convenience for our clients while actively contributing to a circular economy and fostering a greener and more sustainable future. For further details on purchasing this recycled material, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are readily available to provide comprehensive information and assist with any inquiries you may have.

Recycled Tire Contain 15% Steel Wire

Straight from the tire, steel wire contains a certain level of contamination, making it a lower-quality form of recyclable steel. It may have anywhere from 3%-10% rubber and fiber.  

Once removed from the tires, the steel has a large surface area exposed to the air. This exposure causes the metal to rust, especially when stored improperly. Taking care to process and store the cable in a protected space will protect it from the elements and increase profits when sold. That’s why we package the metal to prevent rust as much as possible. In many cases, a cable in this form may be more desirable to a potential buyer since shipping costs may be lower.

What is the recycled metal obtained from tires used for?

The recycled metal obtained from tires, primarily steel wire, is a valuable resource that can be melted down and reused in various applications. After extraction from tires, the steel is often cleaned and processed into a form suitable for recycling. It can then be melted and used to manufacture new steel products such as construction materials, automobile parts, and even in art and furniture. This process not only helps reduce waste but also lessens the demand for virgin steel, thereby promoting sustainability in manufacturing and construction industries.
