We have talked in past articles about how recycled tires are collected and recycled to create new raw material and new applications that help waste circularity

We focused on the recycling systems that are currently used for the transformation of tires at the end of their life, but also of some applications in the building field, particularly in the acoustic insulation sector.

Rolls, sheets and powder are used for sound absorption and sound impedance of noise in order to give our homes a better living comfort.

In the exploration of the various fields of application of the raw material that derives from the recycling of tires, today we see an application in horse stables.

In riding schools, maintaining the health and comfort of horses is a crucial and of primary importance for the good management of the company and the animals. These two objectives are often achieved by avoiding the onset of problems related to the joints and ligaments of horses and the excessive presence of dust in the workplace.

The use of flooring made with elastic materials from the processing of exhausted tires that are laid in the form of tiles or monolithic agglomerates is spreading in the stables.

The artifacts can be housed above the normal supporting concrete floor, reducing the presence of bedding materials and increasing the hygiene of the room and the animal as cleaning is much simpler and more effective.

Even in the trot and horse racing areas, which are notoriously composed only of sand, a mixture of sand and recycled rubber granules can be replaced which has the purpose of reducing the dispersion of dust in the air, dust that can create respiratory diseases. both for the animals and the workers who look after them daily.

These pathologies can occur in the form of silicosis following a prolonged inhalation of the micro dust caused by the dynamic action of the horses' hooves on sandy soils.

A better comfort, hygiene and state of health for animals and workers in stables, through the use of flooring and compounds containing recycled tires, is an important fact, but much more so, as for all waste that we produce, to reuse them, in the form of new recycled products to reduce the materials destined for landfills or waste-to-energy, for the well-being of everyone and the planet.
