TIRE RECYCLING USING A CRYOGENIC PROCESS
Introduction
This research examines tire recycling as such recycling is performed using a cryogenic process. In the recycling of tires, the cryogenic process reduces the materials in the tires to a frozen pulverized rubber-like substance that then may be used in the production of other products.
The Problem
Each year in the United States alone, more than 253 million vehicle tires are discarded. Most of these tires go to waste disposal dumps. The disposal sites typically do not possess the capacities to dispose of all of these tires. As a consequence, each year in the United States alone, more than 850 million tires are stacked or piled awaiting disposal ("Device ..."

" Tire Recycling
Used tires have become a dilemma for many nations. Growing tire stockpiles in the United States, for example, create both fire and health hazards. Landfill space is limited. In addition, tires represent a significant resource. Both legislative and market forces are currently spurring the development of a tire recycling industry.
According to Washington's Scrap Tire Management Council, the United States has already accumulated 2 to 3 billion used tires. Moreover, about 240 million tires are added to these stockpiles every year (5:28). The discards consist of 200 million automobile tires and 40 million truck tires (3:1217). The state of California alone produces approximately 20 million used tires annually. "

Abstract
This paper explains that recycling has been around for centuries, although only recently has the modern age made efforts to promote its benefits as a crucial element of a system meant to preserve the environment. The author points out that recycling not only decreases the amount of waste in landfills and incineration plants, but also, by reusing aluminum, paper, glass, plastics, and other materials, virgin materials, as well as production and energy costs can be saved. The paper relates that the United States is not the only country currently involved in recycling programs and describes programs in Germany, the United Kingdom, and the global recycling organization know as BIR.

From the Paper
"The world has seen an increase in waste production over the past century due to increased population and technologic advances. The "average" American discards seven and a half pounds of garbage every day, and this garbage, the solid waste stream, goes mostly to landfills, where it is compacted and buried. As the waste stream continues to grow, so will the pressures on our landfills, our resources and our environment."

Abstract
This paper relates that recycling has been accepted in every major city as a way of enabling people to actively participate in increasing environmental sustainability and in reducing waste. The author points out that the idea behind recycling is to reduce the amount of waste to be dealt with through burning or landfill, as well as the amount of energy needed to produce goods to replace what is wasted. The paper also looks at the argument put forth by critics of recycling, which states that recycling may be more of a "feel-good" matter than a program achieving real value and the argument of supporters of recycling who see a value even if recycling does not solve all environmental problems.
From the Paper
"A concern is that the EPA will not do a real job of oversight when an administration, such as the current Republican administration, does not want the recycling program to work or be found to work so that a different set of criteria are used in judging the system. Administrators can always change the criteria so as to make a program seem to be failing, and people will believe that the program has actually diminished in effectiveness because they think the same criteria are used now as were used last year."

Abstract
This paper explores the following hypothesis: "Recycling of paper and cardboard yields contemporary and future benefits worth salvaging efforts." Recycling strategies employed by prominent recycling proponents, such as Bryan LGH in Lincoln, Nebraska are explored, while other recycling components, including details of the process are expounded. Complimentary as well as contrary reasons to recycle paper and cardboard are also evaluated. In conjunction with an extensive review of pertinent literature, along with researched garnered from Web resources, determinations are made regarding the hypothesis for this thesis. The ultimate determination, while agreeing with and confirming that benefits from recycling paper and cardboard are worth salvaging efforts, encourages ongoing studies regarding this subject.

"In addition to saving the cost of sending mounds of cardboard to a landfill, which would include hauling and landfill fees, BryanLGH receives fair market price for the cardboard bales. BryanLGH also collects mounds of used paper and shreds the mass to be picked up for recycling by Robert Recycling, another positive environmental practice that cuts costs and brings in funds, as this effort complies with HIPAA (American Health Insurance portability and Accountability Act). (Prenosil, 2006)."

Abstract
This paper discusses how, as a nation, America is beginning to realize that it is not dealing with its wastage responsibly and sufficiently and how the best and possibly only solution to this problem is to promote more and better recycling procedures. It analyzes how recycling is so important to the long-term well-being of the nation that it should in fact be made mandatory; individuals, businesses and government should all be required by law to recycle. It examines the three basic arguments regarding the necessity of recycling. The first is the issue of landfill space. The second is the issue of overall saved energy and resource. The last deals with the degree to which recycling reduces pollution. It also looks at the many objections to mandatory recycling, such as the feeling that this sort of mandate intrudes on personal conviction and freedoms and that recycling suffers from a negative cost-benefit analysis.
From the Paper
"Is not the government, though, dictating an awful lot of work for individuals? They must sort their own recyclables, clean them for pick-up, and so forth. Oughtn?t they have freedom from that? Yet liberty has never been defined as freedom from a little bit of work. After all, we currently make people carry their own trash from inside the house out to the curb. We currently require that they bag it themselves as well. Trash collectors will not haul away one?s trash if one leaves it unbagged on the front steps, and this is not seen as an affront to the liberties and self-determination of those who take affront at the inconvenience of picking up their own yards. In the same way, it is legitimate for a state-offered service of trash removal to require that all trash be presented for removal in an appropriate fashion. If that fashion comes to mean the segregation of various sorts of disposables, that is as acceptable as requiring that leaves be bagged separately from household garbage in the fall."

I -Waste Disposal and Recycling
1. History
"'What has four wheels and flies?' A garbage truck of course" (Melosi xiii).
Centuries ago, long before anyone even thought of trucking garbage far away from homes and businesses, people used to throw their refuse out the windows into the streets ... hopefully when no one was walking by. Trash thus accumulated till it would reach the top of the upper windows and, soon enough, till it would bury the houses. Archaeologists have cleared thick layers of decomposed and intact garbage and sand to discover entire cities and civilizations heretofore lost under their own garbage. As the field researchers dug and dug deeper, they unearthed six or seven cities, each interred in its own refuse, one city on top..."

Recycling in the United States, 2002.
Argues that recycling should be made mandatory in the United States.

Abstract
This paper takes the position that the United States government should impose mandatory recycling laws. A two-pronged legislative law which would make recycling mandatory on a national level is proposed. First, it is suggested that companies and manufacturers should be required to use as much recyclable materials for their products as possible. Second, the paper suggests that consumers should be required to separate recyclable material from their regular garbage and then cities should be responsible for creating local recycling programs to take charge of this recyclable material.
From the Paper
"Mandatory recycling programs will also help decrease pollution levels all over the country. The case of Japan illustrates the beneficial effects of strict national recycling laws. In 1995, the Japanese government instituted the Containers and Packaging Recycling law, which first defined recyclable products. The law then mandated that businesses should either recycle their packaging materials, either through their own plants or by paying a "recycling fee" to the Japan Containers and Packaging Recycling Association, a government-designated organization (JCPRA)."

What Is It?

Problems
From the Paper
"There are many benefits to the act of recycling. The first benefit of course is the benefit to the environment. Recycling allows products to be used over and over again instead of throwing them away. In addition it helps to preserve the earth's most precious commodities, which include space, trees, air and water. If the world continues to destroy these resources there will come a time in which mankind is in a serious threat of extinction because of the ripple impact it will have. If recycling is ignored and resources continue to be used and destroyed without any effort to recycle what the world is already seeing will grow in magnitude. Animal, plant and water life will be so severely impacted that there will be no turning back, no way to fix the problem and mankind could well face extinction."

Abstract
This paper discusses the problems of electronic and electrical waste and outlines methods of improving recycling programs. The author explains how recycling programs can help the environment. This paper discusses current European Union resolutions for waste reduction, especially of waste products that cannot be processed in the same manner as standard household garbage. The paper contends that with over 4 kilograms of electronic waste per person annually, the UK needs to push for recycling programs immediately, and describes the programs which currently exist.
From the Paper
"In the process of discussing the waste from electronic and electric industries in Europe, we will first have to look at the basic structures as have been provided. The first of these is for the governments to fix take back requirements for the industries as also the take back specifications for them. Then they have to provide incentives for design of these items in a more efficient way for the environmental purposes. So far as the consumers are concerned they should be able to return their equipment free of charge for further disposal by the manufacturer. The first directive in this regard was issued dated 27 January 2003 and was to be implemented on 13 February 2003. The regulations for the acts by different governments were to be made during 2005. (EU Directive on Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE))"

Abstract
Recycling is far more than a local waste management strategy; it is also an important strategy for reducing the environmental impacts of industrial production. The paper studies the history of waste management and recycling and shows how it has improved over the years. The paper discusses how the U.S. government handles recycling on a national basis and the way these measures affect the natural environment.
From the Paper
"Today in the United States, more than 150 million tons of solid wastes are generated every year. This amounts to more than 3 pounds (1.4 kilograms) per person per day. In metropolitan areas, the daily production of solid waste is usually higher. Residents of New York City, for example, discard 26,000 tons of solid waste daily--almost 7 pounds (3.2 kilograms) for each resident (Compton, 2000). Due to this high amount of waste, recycling has become a major part of environmental policy, largely due to the increased costs of solid- and hazardous-waste disposal, the scarcity of natural resources, and the growing concern over polluted land, water, and air."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the benefits and requirements of recycling. The author argues that recycling is a necessity for the preservation of resources. The paper include an analysis of recycling in different countries and the advantages that are provided.
From the Paper
"For almost 30 years the United States has been actively recycling. We recycle 27 percent of our solid waste. A figure doubling the effort made in 1988. The space we have here on earth is unvarying. The earth will never get larger and the air we breathe is not going to become unnecessary anytime soon. For the sake of our grand children we must preserve our resources. We can no longer ignore the voice telling us to find a special bin for that soda can. The only thing we can hope for is that the World will all participate as one. Recycling is a lifestyle and many may need to change so we can all reap its benefits. Recycling is vital to the future. It will insure that our great grandchildren have an earth that is inhabitable."

Recycling Waste, 2005.
An application of the second law of thermodynamics to waste recycling.

Abstract
This paper uses the second law of thermodynamics to explain why a properly designed source-separation recycling program takes less energy and produces less pollution than a centralized program that collects mixed waste over a large area and hauls it to a centralized facility where workers or machinery separates the waste for recycling.
From the Paper
"Waste is an unavoidable consequence of our consumer oriented, highly industrialized society. In 2000, Canadians generated 1021 kg of non-hazardous waste per capita (Statistics Canada, 2002). 747kg of this waste were disposed of per capita (Statistics Canada, 2002), while the rest was recycled. Torontonians for example recycled 699 tonnes of household waste in 2001 (Ministry of Environment, 2004). Household waste generation was 353kg per capita in 2000 (Statistics Canada, 2002). The situation is similar in most developing countries although the levels of recycling vary. Growing concern for the environment, constant increase in the amounts of waste produced, economic, land and social costs involved in developing new landfill sites and public opinion have brought about the need to approach waste management in a broader context.

From the Paper
"Trash is a problem that confronts everyone, whether in a personal or a commercial setting. Landfills are becoming filled and the media occasionally focuses on trash barges that are unable to find someplace to offload their cargo. For many companies the issue of trash is one that they have handled aggressively. Many companies recycle paper and other consumables and may even recycle office furniture. Computers pose their own set of problems when it comes to obsolescence, however."
