More the things we use, more the things we waste. We see all kinds of waste around us- at our homes, offices, schools, roads, vehicles, etc. Some is safer than the rest. Recyclable waste like paper, glass, etc. is safe or us because they do not pollute the environment as they can be reused after the recycling process. But there are some materials that are not fit for recycling or even for casual disposal. We need to be careful while disposing rubber because its toxic emissions can endanger your health. It contaminates the ground water too because it reaches ground level easily. This directly impacts our life quality and could make us seriously sick. Its decomposition process is extremely slow, thus the toxins contaminate the environment and damage our health for a longer period of time without them being treated. Moreover, its recycling process is not as effective. All you can do is reclaim rubber. It can be reused now for certain things that are actually beneficial for the environment. Thus, the toxic rubber can save the day, if we stop burning it and throwing it in the rivers.

In fact, burning it causes those toxins to breach our bodys immune system through direct inhalation and disposing off rubber in rivers is hardly away to keep the rivers clean. The landfills have been used up; they are spilling out now. There is no more space for us to dump our ignorance and selfishness. So, let us top making a mess of things and reclaim the rubber products. We can eliminate rubber as a toxic material completely. Reclaiming helps the recycling of rubber partially. There are three ways to do it: Dispersion, mechanic and water-neutral approach. It is half the price of the original rubber and works better on some occasions too. With reclaim rubber, choking of the earth is on the decrease. Manufacturing of reclaimed rubber is much less polluting than rubber. So, choose the reclaimed version of rubber and do your bit to save the environment by making such simple choices that are ultimately better for you.

You do not have to throw every rubber product out after you are done using it. First of all, rubber is not that hard to maintain, manage and repair. Secondly, even if it is beyond use for one thing, it can be used for some other purpose like re-treaded tires. Reclaimed rubber can easily be reused as products that we use daily like- carpets, flooring, roadways and flooring, baskets, door mats, decorative items. You can use reclaimed rubber in your garden and see the magnificent and cost-effective results with the decrease of weeds and rodents, improved drainage system and reduction in compaction of soil and usage of pesticides. Municipal sewage is composted better, faster and in a cheaper way with the addition of crumb rubber.

Be responsible with the environment you live in and make sure you take these little steps to improve the quality of your own life and the surroundings you live in.
