Full-lifecycle rubber recycling

Materials moved right.™

24tons manages the full lifecycle of rubber materials at commercial scale: from logistics and warehousing to recycling, conversion & distribution. Materials are collected from your dock on a schedule, staged in our warehouses, converted by vetted contract toll processors and reclaimers, then returned to your plant or placed into qualified applications, with documented custody at every handoff.

The full lifecycle

One partner from your dock to the next use.

Every load moves through the same four stages under 24tons management, with a documented handoff at each one, so you always know where your material is and what it became.

  1. 01

    Logistics

    Recurring truckload pickups from plants across the USA & Canada, sized to your monthly output and logged by polymer, cure state and volume.

  2. 02

    Warehousing

    Material is received, sorted and staged in our warehousing, so conversion and shipments run on schedule instead of on your floor space.

  3. 03

    Conversion

    Each scrap stream is matched to the vetted contract toll processor or reclaimer best suited to it and converted into reusable raw material.

  4. 04

    Return & distribution

    Converted material comes back to your plant to close the loop. Volume you can’t reuse is placed with qualified buyers in other applications.

Weather- and heat-resistant compounds for automotive sealing, roofing membranes and molded goods.

NR / SBR

Natural and styrene-butadiene rubber compounds from tire and general molded-goods production.

Butyl

Low-permeability compounds from tire inner liners, bladders and roofing products.

Oil & gas

Seal, packer and molded-component manufacturers serving oil & gas.

Automotive

Producers of sealing systems, hose and molded parts with steady streams of cured trim and flash.

Roofing

Membrane and roofing-accessory manufacturers generating cured EPDM and butyl scrap.

Tire

FAQ

Rubber process scrap recycling, answered.

What is rubber process scrap recycling?

It is the collection and conversion of rubber left over from manufacturing (uncured compound, mixer cleanout, cured trim, buffings and off-spec polymer) into reusable raw material such as reclaim, crumb or compound, instead of sending it to landfill.

Does 24tons process the rubber itself?

No. 24tons manages the loop and works through a vetted network of contract toll processors and reclaimers, matching each material to the processor best suited to convert it.

Can I get my converted material back?

Yes. Returning converted material to the original manufacturer is the closed loop. Any volume you can’t reuse is distributed into other qualified applications.

Will my company name be shared?

No. Supplier and processor identities are kept confidential across the network, while chain-of-custody documentation keeps every load traceable.

Which polymers and volumes do you handle?

SBR, natural rubber, EPDM, NBR, butyl and neoprene, cured and uncured, typically in recurring truckload programs from plants across the USA and Canada.
