TYRE RECYCLING
Beeah offers a diverse portfolio of recycled rubber products, manufactured completely in the UAE by
Beeah, for various uses and applications without sacrifcing the health of the environment. Each year,
Beeah recycles millions of pounds of scrap tyres, thus saving millions in raw materials and ensuring that
these tyres are kept out of the landfll. Supplying sustainable and responsible selections to the industry
has been a way forward for the organization, making it easy to design and apply responsibly.
Beeahs world-class Tyre Recycling Facility uses
state of the art environmentally-friendly cryogenic
processes to recycle used tyres into crumb rubber
and crumb rubber tiles which can be used for
different applications and fooring products.
The cryogenic process uses liquid nitrogen to
fash freeze the tyres at minus -196 degrees
Celsius, which become brittle and broken down
like glass, by cracker mills, into crumb granules
varying between 0.6mm in size to 4 mm. The
average process time is 40 minutes, from the start
with a whole tyre to the fnished product.
Mega tyres used in industrial and construction
vehicles can be processed at the TRF by employing
an oversize tyre reduction system (OTR) to take
the very large tyres and break them down so that
they can be fed into the shredder. Steel-belt radial
tyres have the steel threads removed and the latter
is sold as recycled material the tyre then goes
through the breakdown process as any other tyre.
When applied to running tracks, the rubber-
modifed surface absorbs most of the impact thus
preventing strain on the body. Rubber tiles are
suitable for both indoor and outdoor application,
where impact reduction, proper access and safety
are required.
World leading technology
Recycled Tyres
Recycled tyres have many uses and applications,
and at Beeah, we make it our responsibility to
turn them into a valuable product for re-use in
our economy. This has always been our priority
and we are constantly fnding new and exciting
ways to use recycled tyres through creative
thinking and proper waste management.
Discarded and scrap tyres consume valuable land
space, act as a fre hazard, and when co-mingled
with garbage, provide a habitat for mosquitoes,
rats and other vermin. Thus, we invested in a
state-of-the-art tyre recycling facility which turns
used and worn out tyres into a sustainable rubber
product which can positively serve the community.
Products
Products derived from recycled tyres include crumb
rubber, rubber mulch, crumb rubber tiles and
pavers (manufactured from the crumb rubber),
molded rubber products and rubberised asphalt.
These can be used in fooring applications such
as running tracks, grass-surfaced playing areas,
stadium playing areas, miniature golf courses
and in artifcial turf infll in local schools, parks,
athletic facilities and equestrian arenas.
Recycled rubber may also be used in landscaping
and gardens, interior decorations and even for
urban infrastructure and communities in new
roads, signs and car parks.
Facts & Figures
1 Recycled tyres can be converted into 3
fooring tiles.
1 scrap tyre delivers around 6.5 kg of steel-
free crumb rubber.
22 rubber tiles cover an area of 1 square
metre, which means that around 7 recycled
tires are required to cover one square metre.
1 tonne of crumb rubber (around 145 tyres)
produces around 500 tiles, covering an area
of 23 square metres.
About 7 tonnes of crumb rubber are required
for a 1km-long, 50 mm thick, single lane
asphalt rubber road thus around 1050 tyres
are needed for a 1km-long single lane driving
surface.
CRUMB RUBBER
The crumb rubber has an output of 4 grades, and
can be made into any shape or colour depending
on its use and application.
1. 5 10 Mesh Size (4 2 mm)
2. 10 14 Mesh Size (2 1.4 mm)
3. 14 30 Mesh Size (1.4 0.5 mm)
4. Minus 30 Mesh Size (0.5 mm)
Beeah uses different sizes of crumb rubber to
produce a variety of environmentally friendly
value added products.
Use / Applications: This crumb rubber is used
mainly in running tracks, grass-surfaced playing
areas, stadium playing areas, miniature golf
courses and in artifcial turf infll.

The advantages of Crumb Rubber
Good for the environment:
Made of 100% recycled rubber from used
vehicle tyres. It is estimated that in the emirate
of Sharjah 1.4 million tyres are thrown out in
a single year, thus Beeah recycles all types
of tyres, from motorcycles through to tractor
tyres. The main purpose for recycling used
tyres is to alleviate the landfll from its large
volumes and space.
Exceeds normal product standards:
Due to its resilience and durability as a material,
crumb rubber is used in various fooring
applications such as jogging tracks, athletic
felds and golf courses. The drive behind
using this material in athletic arenas is the fact
that it has many benefts for athletes, namely
increased safety and enhanced performance.

Beeah has acquired a colored rubber mulch
production system, this system takes the 2 inch
shreds and reduces them to a mulch size of 10
mm to 32 mm. There are fve main operations in
the recycled rubber mulch system; these are:
Granulation: The shreds are processed
through a large granulator that reduces them
in size and at the same time removes most of
the steel contained in the rubber shreds.
Steel Rubber Removal: The granules
that come out of the large granulator are
processed through two over-belt magnets that
remove any rubber that still contains steel.
Coloring: The mulch sized rubber pass
through a coloring system in batches (A
multitude of colors can be used). It is
important to note that nontoxic paint is used in
this process.
Drying: The colored rubber mulch goes
through a dryer to dry the paint and to avoid
the mulch sticking together when bagged.
Bagging: The fnal product is bagged in
50-pound sized bags.
This system is electrically powered and is capable
of generating 6,000 pounds of colored rubber
mulch per hour.

The advantages of Rubber Tiles & Pavers
Safety: Superior slip resistance and shock
absorption qualities, make them the safest
alternative fooring product for any high
traffc areas, especially in playgrounds, ftness
centers, parks and gymnasiums.
Designed for disassembly: Can be
installed over a variety of surfaces and if one
becomes damaged, there is no need to replace
the entire surface, unlike concrete tiles.
Low Maintenance: The crumb rubber tiles
are non-toxic and latex-free. They have an
exclusive drainage design, allowing for rain
water to drain easily, so running tracks and
playgrounds can be used right after, without
having to wait for the water to dry up; and
easily eliminates dirt and mud.
Durability: In the warm climate of the UAE,
concrete tiles or wood fooring tend to crack
and come apart. However, rubber tiles last
longer, are prone to warm weather and can
easily be changed, without having to remove
the entire fooring system.
Rubber parking bumpers and stops are useful in
the organization of parking areas and roadways.
Designed in a bar-like structure, they assist in
outlining the barrier of a designated parking spot.
Not only do they reduce the chances of low-
impact accidents from happening, they stop drivers
from over parking. This product also gives the
structure a perfect fnishing touch so that a parking
lot looks professionally constructed thus, adding a
level of sophistication to the environment.
Rubber parking bumpers are very lightweight and
can easily be moved from place to place by one
person. They provide an easy-to-use alternative
which gives facility personnel more control over
their parking organization. They last longer than
concrete blocks, will not chip and will not cause
damage to cars

In partnership with leading contractors, Beeah
also offers rubberized asphalt and recycled green
roads, which help improve safety, enhance driving
and reduce maintenance costs.
Rubberized asphalt is comprised of crumb rubber
mixed with asphalt and applied in new roads.
This technology is currently used in a number of
countries around the world, and has many benefts
over existing asphalt the return on investment
alone has resulted in ongoing savings to the cities
who have implemented the technology.
Another advantage of asphalt rubber over
conventional asphalt is that it creates a safer and
longer lasting road system. It decreases the cost
of building roads, increases the lifespan to almost
double of road surfaces, enhances traction for cars
on road surface and reduces noise generated from
passing vehicles.
Recycled green roads are useful in the
maintenance of roads and are remodeled on-site;
whereby a state-of-the-art machine removes the
existing road asphalt and road base, mixes it with
cement and water, and then reapplies the road
in a matter of minutes. This not only saves time in
remodeling but also cuts maintenance expenses.
