Experts in rubber process scrap recycling

24tons runs a closed loop for rubber manufacturers: pickup, convert, return & distribute. Your process scrap is collected on a schedule, converted by vetted contract toll processors and reclaimers, then returned to your plant or placed into other qualified applications, with documented custody at every handoff.

The closed loop

Pickup, convert, return & distribute.

Every load moves through the same four steps, with a documented handoff at each stage, so you always know where your material is and what it became.

  1. 01

    Pickup

    We schedule recurring truckload pickups of your process scrap, logged by polymer type, cure state, volume and plant location.

  2. 02

    Convert

    Your scrap is matched to the vetted contract toll processor or reclaimer best suited to it, and converted into reusable feedstock under 24tons management.

  3. 03

    Return

    Converted material comes back to your plant as raw material for your own compounds, closing the loop with full chain-of-custody records.

  4. 04

    Distribute

    Volume you can’t reuse is placed with qualified buyers in other applications, so nothing goes to landfill without a reason.

Materials

We recycle uncured compounds and cured rubber.

Uncured compound, mixer cleanout and off-spec batches, plus cured trim, flash, rejects and buffings, across these polymer families:

NBR

Nitrile compounds used where oil and fuel resistance matter, such as seals, gaskets and hose.

EPDM

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.

Industries

Built for manufacturers with steady cured scrap.

Oil & gas

Seal, packer and molded-component manufacturers in the oil & gas supply chain, for example around Houston, Texas.

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

Tire and tire-component plants with cured NR/SBR and butyl process scrap.

Who we work with

Two sides of the same loop.

Manufacturers with rubber process scrap

Why 24tons

A vetted network, one accountable partner.

24tons doesn’t run the equipment. We match each material to the right accredited processor, manage the conversion and own the outcome, so you deal with one partner from pickup to final use.

Confidential sourcing

Supplier and processor identities stay protected across the network. Who you work with stays between us.

Full traceability

Documented custody from intake through conversion and return. No undisclosed commingling; origin stays identifiable.

Right processor, every load

Our team evaluates each scrap stream and assigns it to the processor best suited to convert it.

Freight & logistics

Door pickup, trucking and warehousing across the USA and Canada, plus international shipments to all major ports.

Truckload programs

Monthly, repeat pickups sized to your output, tracked from your dock to the next use.

Custom manufacturing

Certified compounds with custom durometer, semi-finished and white-label molded rubber products.

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.
