Abstract

The method of the invention involves the stepwise reduction of a vehicle tyre (T), having a tread portion (18) supporting tread lugs (14) and sidewall portions (17) connecting the tread portion or band (18) to rim-engaging beads (24), into useable constituent parts. The methods of the invention are achieved using high-pressure water jets (12, 22, 32, 52) to remove tread lugs and pattern from the tread portion of a tyre, to cut rim-engaging beads from each side wall of the tyre and to remove the sidewall portion to leave a strip of tread material. Each removed portion is further reduced at processing stations (30, 40, 50) to separate rubber material from reinforcing material. Apparatus for effecting the methods of the invention are also disclosed.
