Some expensive and heavy equipment for production came to the old plant of GDX on the street René-Pateneaude to Magog this week. Within a maximum of three months, Magnum Recycling Canada will begin to transform old tires. The great patron of the future plant, Michel Boux, says that the two machines received yesterday are "very important “. They will serve to shred the tires. They cut them into small pieces which will be used as mulch in gardens as well as to absorb the shocks under children's games.
As mulch, these small chips are really very interesting. Because they are made of rubber, they are very durable. In addition, they don’t absorb water, or moisture and cannot be discolored. They can be offered in a wide choice of couleurs", explains Mr. Boux.
