Tire Wire Steel Scrap

Tire Wire Steel Scrap is recovered steel obtained during the recycling of end-of-life tyres. When tyres are processed to separate rubber into crumb, granules, chips and powder, the steel reinforcement present inside the tyre can also be recovered instead of being discarded.

After separation, the recovered tyre wire becomes a secondary steel raw material suitable for steel recycling, foundries, remelting and related metal-processing applications.
For industrial buyers, its value is straightforward: steel already present inside discarded tyres is recovered and returned to productive use.

What is Tire Wire Steel Scrap?

Tyres are not made from rubber alone. Steel reinforcement is incorporated into many tyres to provide strength and structural stability during service.
During tyre recycling, the rubber, steel and textile components are separated. The recovered steel component is commonly referred to as Tire Wire Steel Scrap, Tyre Wire Scrap,

Recycled Tyre Steel Wire or Radial Wire Scrap, depending on its source and processing condition.

Rather than sending this steel fraction to waste, it can be collected and supplied to metal recyclers and steel-processing businesses as recyclable ferrous material.

How is Steel Wire Recovered from Used Tyres?

The process begins with end-of-life tyres that are broken down during recycling.
As tyre material is progressively reduced in size, its different components can be separated. Rubber is processed into useful recycled materials, while steel reinforcement is extracted from the rubber fraction. Mechanical separation and magnetic separation can be used as part of this process.
A.P. Rubber describes ambient tyre recycling as a multi-stage process in which rubber, metals and textiles are separated, with remaining steel removed magnetically.
The result is recovered tyre-derived steel that can be collected for further recycling and industrial processing.

Key Features of Tire Wire Steel Scrap

Recovered from End-of-Life Tyres

The material comes from steel reinforcement already contained within tyres. Recovering this steel creates another usable output from the tyre recycling process rather than concentrating only on the rubber fraction.

Recyclable Ferrous Material

Steel can be recycled and returned to the metal production cycle. Tyre-derived steel scrap therefore provides a secondary raw-material stream for suitable steel recycling and remelting operations.

Suitable for Bulk Industrial Processing

Tire Wire Steel Scrap is primarily a B2B raw material, rather than a finished steel product. It can be supplied to businesses equipped to process, remelt or recycle ferrous scrap.

Supports Material Recovery

A tyre contains several useful materials. Separating both rubber and steel improves material recovery from end-of-life tyres and creates useful secondary resources from what would otherwise remain waste.

Industrial Reuse Potential

Recovered radial steel wire from tyres is used in foundries for ingot production and other remelted-steel applications, according to industry supplier A.P. Rubber Group.

Applications of Tire Wire Steel Scrap

Steel Foundries

Foundries capable of handling the material can use tyre-derived steel scrap as part of their recyclable ferrous raw-material input.
The suitability and proportion of scrap used depend on the foundry process, required chemistry and quality of the recovered material.

Steel Remelting

One of the principal routes for recovered tyre steel is remelting.
Instead of remaining a waste component after tyre recycling, the steel can enter an appropriate melting process and become feedstock for subsequent steel production. A.P. Rubber specifically identifies remelting as an application for its recovered radial wire.

Ingot Production

Recovered tyre steel wire can be supplied to suitable facilities producing steel ingots from recyclable ferrous material. The exact acceptance criteria will depend on the buyer's melting process and required scrap specification.

Billets, Rods & Structural Steel Supply Chain

After remelting and metallurgical processing, recycled steel can ultimately become raw material for new steel products.
A.P. Rubber identifies billets, rods and structural steel among downstream products associated with remelting recovered radial wire and steel materials.

Metal Recycling Units

Scrap processors and metal recycling businesses can collect and process recovered tyre wire as part of the broader ferrous scrap stream, subject to their purchasing and processing specifications.

From Waste Tyre to Two Valuable Material Streams

One of the most useful aspects of tyre recycling is that the process does not have to stop after recovering rubber.
A processed tyre can generate different reusable material streams:

Rubber → Rubber Chips, Crumb Rubber, Rubber Granules and Rubber Powder
Steel → Tire Wire Steel Scrap
This makes tyre recycling a material-recovery process in which different components can find new applications rather than treating the complete tyre as a single waste material.

Why Use Recovered Tire Wire Steel Scrap?

For a steel recycler or foundry, tyre wire scrap represents a source of recovered ferrous material that can re-enter industrial processing.
Its key advantages are:

• Recovered from end-of-life tyres
• Recyclable ferrous steel material
• Suitable for appropriate remelting operations
• Can serve foundries and metal recyclers
• Provides an additional secondary raw-material source
• Supports recovery of steel alongside recycled rubber
• Helps keep useful tyre-derived material in circulation

The commercial suitability of any batch should still be assessed against the buyer's required purity, contamination level, dimensions and processing requirements.

Tire Wire Steel Scrap vs Conventional Steel Scrap

Both materials ultimately belong to the broader ferrous scrap category, but their origin and physical form can differ.

Tire Wire Steel Scrap originates specifically from the steel reinforcement recovered during tyre recycling. Its wire-like and irregular form reflects that source, and depending on processing, some residual rubber or other tyre material may need to be considered.

Conventional Steel Scrap can originate from manufacturing offcuts, structures, machinery, vehicles, demolition, fabrication and many other sources, resulting in a much wider variety of grades, shapes and compositions.
For buyers, the deciding factor should therefore be material specification and compatibility with their processing system, rather than source alone.

Who Buys Tire Wire Steel Scrap?

Tire Wire Steel Scrap is primarily relevant to B2B buyers involved in:

• Steel foundries
• Scrap metal recycling
• Steel remelting
• Ingot manufacturing
• Secondary steel production
• Ferrous scrap processing
• Metal recovery and recycling

Before purchasing, buyers should confirm that tyre-derived steel scrap meets the acceptance criteria of their plant or downstream processing operation.

What Should Buyers Check Before Ordering?
Not all recovered tyre wire scrap is necessarily identical. The quality and condition can vary depending on the tyres processed and the separation method used.
For bulk procurement, buyers should evaluate steel content and purity, residual rubber or fibre contamination, physical form, consistency between batches, moisture/foreign matter, packaging, quantity and delivery requirements.

If your melting or recycling process has specific incoming scrap requirements, communicate them before confirming the order.
