Tire Recycling: compare the models.
Look at the operating differences before comparing financial projections.
Back to all tire recycling models| Model | Earns from | Capacity constraints | Key distinction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Owned Tire Sorting and Processing | Accepted inbound quantity and sold recovered output | Receiving, sorting and processing throughput and recovery yields | The operator owns or runs the processing stage and bears recovery-yield and residual-disposal costs. |
| Collection for External Tire Recyclers | Container lift, client-month or collected quantity | Truck payload, route time and receiving-facility hours | Recurring route execution and receiving fees differ from running a full processing plant. |
| Customer-Tire Toll Processing | Processed quantity or billed machine-hour | Machine time, process yield and customer material availability | Input and output ownership stays with the customer; the processor earns only conversion-related fees. |
| Client-Site Tire Sorting | Client contract-month, billed hour or service unit | Required shift coverage and agreed service levels | The paying customer is the host organization and the operator supplies defined physical coverage. |
