Tire recycling can be used to reduce noise from trains and cars in a few ways.
Tire-derived aggregate (TDA) can be used as a lightweight fill beneath and around railroads and light rail systems. TDA is made from shredded tires and has excellent sound absorption properties. It can reduce noise levels by up to 12 decibels.
Rubberized asphalt can be used to create noise barriers along railroad tracks. Rubberized asphalt is made from recycled rubber and asphalt. It is more durable and noise-absorbing than traditional asphalt.
Crumb rubber can be used to create mats that are placed under train cars. Crumb rubber is made from ground-up tires. It can reduce noise levels by up to 8 decibels.
These methods of tire recycling can help to reduce noise pollution from trains and improve the quality of life for people who live near railroads.
In addition to reducing noise, tire recycling can also help to protect the environment. When tires are not recycled, they end up in landfills where they can release harmful pollutants into the air and water. Recycling tires helps to reduce these emissions and conserve natural resources. Here are some additional benefits of tire recycling:
Same concept is true for roads and cars. Rubberized asphalt is made from recycled rubber and asphalt. It is more durable and noise-absorbing than traditional asphalt. It can be used to pave roads or to create noise barriers.
