Recall
The Ministry of Defense will recycle used rubber from military equipment for the needs of the Armed Forces. The plan is to save money on material disposal and turn thousands of tons of old rubber into a useful resource. More than 6,000 tons of tires are stored in warehouses, and their disposal costs between UAH 200,000 and 400,000 per 1,000 tons. So it was decided to set up its own recycling line. The equipment has already been purchased and is being installed in one of the military units.
