CTSW's core decomposition and reclamation process uses various thermal conversion technologies. Thermal conversion processes use high temperature, in the absence of oxygen, to decompose waste material into its original raw materials. This technology extracts the maximum value from various sources of waste and recovers nearly 100% of the original materials.

Our thermal conversion technology is similar to "un-baking" a cake. In doing so you would be able to extract the flour, milk, eggs, and sugar that went into the original baking of the cake.

 

 

Specifically, when thermal conversion technology is applied to waste tires high-grade carbon, gas, oil, and steel are produced. All recovered materials have economic value. The oil, gas, and steel can be sold in the commodities market. And, the recovered carbon is an important material used in many rubber and plastics compounds and in many high-tech specialty applications. In the U.S. alone six billion pounds of carbon are consumed every year.
