In recent years, discarded tires of the rapid growth of production. In 2004, China's volume of discarded tires have more than 112,000,000, is expected by 2010 more than 200,000,000. At the same time, China for three consecutive years become the world's largest rubber consumer, 2004, rubber consumption 4,350,000 tons, accounting for the world's total consumption of 22%. China and a serious shortage of rubber resources, in 2004 imported 2,375,000 tons of rubber, that is, more than 50% of the need to import rubber.
