The use of crumb rubber last year was more than 500 million pounds in North America. More than half of this amount was used by the rubber manufacturing industry.

The uses for this material include fillers in rubber compounds, asphalt modifiers, and extruded products, to name just a few. As the quality and supply of crumb rubber become more reliable, and increasing number of rubber manufacturers are exploring the possibility of incorporating this material in their compounds. If the processing method is properly chosen, the compounder will be able to achieve substantial savings in material costs. Improved mixing and curing properties are additional benefits that result from the use of recycled materials.
