The Recycling Rate for Tires
In Japan, the recycling rate for tires was already 93 percent in 1993, Discarded tires are recycled here in three ways. The most familiar involves simply using them as is--in their original shape for such things as playground equipment in schools and public parks. They are even used in some bullet train tracks as shock absorbers.
Another popular use of discarded tires involves extracting rubber for processing into new products. You can recycle rubber 100 percent, and as often as you wish. Rubber used in making tires is especially strong, so the rubber derived from scrappedtires can be used in various ways, says Minoru Muraoka, president of Muraoka Rubber Co. who is bent onrecycling tires. In addition to being reused in tires, recycled rubber is used to make sheet rubber. Also, powdered rubber is used to make roof tries and slabs for sidewalks, thus contributing to improving the looks of our cities.
The third use for scrapped tires is as fuel. Half of all scrapped tires are currently used for this purpose at various installations requiring large amounts of heat energy.
Furthermore, Takeji Kobata, a researcher in Hokkaido has developed an epoch-making technology for making activated carbon by burning used tires. Activated carbon made from tires is of better quality and has greater absorptive power than other varieties already on the market. With the Kobata method, 1. 5 kilograms of activated carbon can be obtained from a single 7-kilogram automobile tire. Kobata has already obtained manufacturing patent in the United States, Canada and Taiwan, and has also opened the patented process to the public in Britain, Germany, France and Brazil

輪胎回收率
1993年，日本的輪胎回收率已達93%。在這里，廢棄的輪胎以三種方式被回收再利用。最常見的一種回收利用方式是按照它們的原樣它們本來的形狀將其重新用作學校及公園的操場娛樂設施，有時這些輪胎還被用在一些新干線列車的鐵軌上以減少震動。
廢棄輪胎的另一種常見的回收再利用方式是從它們中間提取橡膠加工成新產品。一心致力于輪胎回收再利用研究的Muraoka橡膠公司總裁Minoru Muraoka說：你可以百分之百地、無數次地回收橡膠。用來做輪胎的橡膠韌性很強所以從廢棄輪胎中提取出來的橡膠回收再利用的用途也就很多。除了將提取的橡膠重新用來制造輪胎外，它還被用于制造薄片狀橡膠，另外，橡膠碎料還被用來制造房瓦及人行道邊板，因此也能美化我們的城市。 廢棄輪胎的第三種用途是作燃料。現在，有一半的廢棄輪胎被用作燃料，為那些需要大量熱能的建筑設施服務。
此外，北海道的一位研究員Takeji Kobata開發了一種劃時代的技術，他通過燃燒廢棄輪胎制造出活性炭。這種從輪胎中制造出來的活性炭與市場中現有的其他活性炭相比，質量更好，吸收力更強。用Kobata開發的這種方法，一個重7千克的汽車輪胎可以制出1.5千克的活性炭。Kobata已在美國、加拿大和臺灣獲取了生產專利，并向英國、法國、德國和巴西的公眾開放已經獲得專利權的加工過程
