What is Recycled Wire?
Recycled tire wire is the steel taken from end-of-life tires. Drawn out by magnets, as well as vibrating belts and tables, tire steel is high-quality and has an impressive level of carbon content. Our wire sorting equipment is tested annually to ensure our processes and machines are removing as much rubber from the steel as possible to maintain excellent, consistent quality standards. Steel manufacturers find recycled tire wire attractive because it achieves cost savings and reduces their carbon footprint at the same time.
Quality Wire at a Fraction of the Price
Since the Department of Transportation regulates manufacturing in the tire industry, steel from tires has reliably high carbon content. As the largest tire recycler in North America with stringent standards, we are the most dependable supplier of quality recycled tire wire for the most prominent steel manufacturers.
Using recycled wire helps steel manufacturers:
- Save money since it can be used in place of higher-priced scrap
- Achieve environmental, sustainability and governance (ESG) goals by reducing an organization’s carbon footprint
Liberty Tire Recycling can ship the wire either loosely in a truck or rolloff box, or in super sacks, depending on a facility’s material handling configuration and furnace charging practices.
