What is retreading? Simply speaking, retreading is the process whereby selected and inspected worn tires, called”casings,” receive a new tread. Some people may ask why I should choose retreading? It is a win-win solution for both of your personal profit and environmental protection.
Whether you are a wise husband or wife looking for ways to stretch the family budget or a fleet manager buying thousands of tires a year, costs must somehow be controlled in today’s stringent economy. Many people like truckers, farms and passenger car owners all purchase retreaded tires for one basic reason- to save money. A retreaded tire cost less to produce than a new tire and sells for less- usually between 30-50 percents of the comparable new tire price. By using retread tires, the commercial and military aircraft industries save more than $ 100 million a year. Retreading truck tires saves the trucking industry over $3 million each year. Retreading is an effective way to lower your tire costs, too.
Besides, retreading is very environmentally friendly. Rereading conserves oil a lot. The synthetic rubber components in a new passenger tire contain seven to eight gallons of oil. The manufacturer of a new medium truck tire requires approximately 22 gallons of oil, but it takes only seven gallons to retread. Every year in North America, the use of retreads saves hundreds of millions of gallons of oil. What’s more, millions of tires that would end up in tire piles or in landfill continue their useful lives for thousand of more miles.
However, there are still some people doubt the function of the retreaded tires. The truth is retreaded tires provide the same safety, reliability, performance and handling as tires that have never been retreaded. Retreaded tires keep getting better and better with continuous improvements in quality, durability and reliability. Retreaded tires are exhibiting their good performance worldwide no matter what the weather is, and entire kinds of terrain for every type of vehicles that may be from municipal and school buses to emergency vehicles to commercial to trucks and military aircraft.

Prospect of Copper Granulator in UK Copper Recycling Industry
An Overview of UK Metal Recycling Industry
Metal recycling is a £5.6 billion industry in UK. It processes ferrous and nonferrous metal into vital secondary raw material for the smelting of new material, employing over8,000 people and making a net contribute to UK’s trade balance. Thus recycled metals have significant economic value and so scrap metal is rarely discarded or sent to landfill.
The UK is one of the five largest metal scrap exporting countries in the world. In 2005, 13 millions of metal scrap was recycled in the UK, more than its own need, therefore around 40% of this was used in the UK, and the remaining 60% exported worldwide.
◇Ferrous scrap: 4.6 million tonnes of iron and steel and stainless steel scrap was supplied to steelworks in the UK, and 0.9 million tonnes to UK foundries; 6.1 million tonnes was exported. Major markets were Europe, particularly Spain, and Asia, particularly India. The worldwide market for ferrous scrap is predicted to continue its steady growth, which has averaged around 5% per annul over the past 12 years.
◇Non-ferrous metals: over one million tonnes was processed. Approximately 45% of this was aluminum, 31% copper, and significant quantities of nickel, brass, zinc and lead. Non ferrous metals are traded on the London Metal Exchange, and therefore subject to volatility in commodity investments. UK exports topped 800,000 tonnes in 2005, a 20% increase on the previous year. Europe, China and India are the main destinations.

Why UK Metal Recycling Industry Develops So Well
For the prosperous development of UK metal recycling industry, I think there are four important reasons. In UK, many sectors contribute to the collection of metal scrap which is shown in the following part:
a.Packaging: some 2 billion aluminum and steel cans are recycled every year.
b.Vehicles: over 75% of a car is metal – early 90% of the target. Around half of the material processed by metal recycling shredders comes from vehicles.
c.WEEE: the industry already recycles most discarded household appliances. Electronic and telecommunications goods are a significant consumer of non ferrous metals.
d.Batteries: The EU Directive comes into effect in 2008, but the metals recycling industry is already recycling most lead acid vehicle and industrial batteries.

d.Batteries: The EU Directive comes into effect in 2008, but the metals recycling industry is already recycling most lead acid vehicle and industrial batteries.
Next reason is UK’s prefect recycling system. It owns many small, family owned companies, as well as large, international businesses. These small scrap yards are scattered here and there, which is within local citizen’s approach. They carry out a range of function and then supply partially or fully processed metal scrap to larger operators or traders.
Another reason we have to mention is strict laws and decrees like The Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. In this Act, all site-based and mobile scrap dealers must apply for a license from their local authority and the ban of cash payments for scrap metal will be extended to all metal dealers including traditional scrap yards, mobile collectors and motor vehicle salvage operators. More than that, the owner of scrap yard must verify the identity of anyone from whom they buy. These policies are inevitable force to ensure the healthy development of UK metal recycling industry.
The last reason I like to talk is recycling machines. The application of machines in metal recycling will greatly improve recycling efficiency and effect. Metal shearing machine can reduce the size of the large pieces by cutting; metal baling press reduces feed stock to fist-sized lump. A large shredder can process a car in less than ten seconds. These machines have been widely used in UK metal recycling industry.
