In July/ August 2006 a new tire recycling plant has been installed in the free zone Jordan.

The tire recycling plant can process Truck- and Car tires to rubber granulate, capacity approx. 3 metric ton input per hour. This corresponds to approx. 500 Car tires per hour or 1 million car tires per year.

The owner of the plant, Advanced Technical Recycling Materials CO. ltd. (ATRM) expects to run the plant in 2 – 3 shifts beginning of next year meaning an expected production capacity of up to 3 million car tires per year.

The ATRM tire recycling plant produces high quality rubber granulate and powder for various products like Rubber Mats, Molded products, Sound- and Vibration insulation, Underlay for the carpet industries and rubber components for the car industries. The rubber granulate can also be used for the Asphalt industries. This is used with success in the USA where approx. 90% of the roads in the states of California and Phoenix are built with rubber granulate mixed in the asphalt. The great benefit of this is the mainly the noise reduction and the savings in maintenance, compared to normal asphalt roads.

The ATRM tire recycling plant is supplied by a European manufacturer, a world leading supplier of turn key tire recycling plants.
