Devulcanization
Kal Tire collects millions of pounds of buffings per year from 10 retread plants across Canada. Through the devulcanization process, we are then reusing that material back into our retreading process, including OTR retreads, replacing 25% of the natural rubber, reducing the need for additional raw materials. Through engaging in a retread program with Kal Tire, you are helping to reduce CO2 and waste through circularity.
