Green Recycling Solutions International, Inc (GRSI) has a patented semi-cryogenic technology that uses the contraction and expansion of ambient air to freeze tires. The air is passed through a series of compressors, and this process reduces the air temperature to -175 degrees (minus) or greater, to freeze the tire, and renders it to a brittle state. Once brittle, the tire passes through our proprietary fracturing mill.

The fracturing mill shatters the tires into rough pieces of rubber, and fed through mesh screens that determine the grade and size of the end-product, which is crumb rubber. The steel wire and tire cord are completely separated from the tire and are directed into their own recycling bin. When fully operational, this technology will be able to recycle 2 million tires annually, thereby reducing the CO2 footprint by 161,500,000 lbs., which is equivalent to 2,907,000,000 gallons of gasoline. The average 20 lb. tire has 2.5 lbs. of Steel Wire, and a Single Tire Cord is 22,1185.003 cubic inches. 

Thus, when we're recycling the optimum number of tires, annually (2 million) the technology will produce: 2.5 million lbs. of steel wire, 36 million lbs. of crumb rubber, and I million lbs. of tire cord that can be further recycled into other products. The design has the advantage of recycling tires without producing any petroleum dust and/or smoke that is normally produced by systems that are based on chopping and grinding. With this design the main components of a tire: crumb rubber, steel wires and nylon cords will be separated and recycled to be used in other industries. 

Crumb rubber is currently used as 20% of the asphalt mix in some states, in addition to the other end-product uses for crumb rubber, such as household items, car parts, injection molding technology, etc. The nylon cord can be used as a additive to make stucco, fiberglass and carpeting. Steel wire can be reused to make a host of products for construction or household products.
