What is PD CEN/TS 17188 - Materials obtained from the end-of-life tyres about?

PD CEN/TS 17188 is an international standard used for materials obtained from the end-of-life tyres (ELT).

PD CEN/TS 17188 specifies a method for obtaining a sample of rubber granulates or powders derived from End-of-life tyres that have been stored in big bags.

Who is PD CEN/TS 17188 - Materials obtained from the end-of-life tyres for?

PD CEN/TS 17188 on Materials obtained from the end-of-life tyres (ELT) is useful for:

Tyre recycling industries 
Tyre manufacturers 
Tyre remoulding industries 
Testing laboratories

Why should you use PD CEN/TS 17188 - Materials obtained from the end-of-life tyres?

When a tyre is no longer safe or efficient to reuse, even if re-treaded, it is referred to as an "end-of-life tyre", that is waste and must be collected and recovered in specific factories, as well as for material recycling. 

PD CEN/TS 17188 is useful in mixing the several increments which are removed by sampling tools. Several sample increments are obtained which are included in a big bag at a different level. This helps in representing the average particle size distribution that is inside the big bag. PD CEN/TS 17188 helps in representing these samples of granulates and powders derived from End-of-life tyres which are stored in big bags. By using these granulates and powder you can manufacture recycled products and this helps in keeping the environment clean and healthy.
