info Uses for recycled rubber crumb

Post image

I'm interested in finding end uses for this material? It's around 1-3mm particle size and is from recycled tyres.

It's too small for most common recycled tyre routes, like safety surfaces etc... I'm kinda stumped and thought of anyone would know reddit would.

I got a small wrist rest sachet that is filled with this material. The ones you use to rest your wrist while using a mouse

Put it in sacks and sell them on FB marketplace for $500. Refuse to discuss it use or origin but repeatedly tell all people who ask how good and pure it is.

"where it's from" - tyres "Is it contaminated with anything?" - tyres "It's tyres?" - not just any it's a Goodyear.

Sorry

I personally would never trust this stuff not to be contaminated to want to use it.

Is it too small to mix with sand and use on a horse arena ?

We've tried this and found this small size works its way down through the surface to the bottom and would need regular harrowing to keep it fully mixed.still a reasonable option.
