A rubber mat is a very common object in households today.
Every household uses at least one kind of rubber mat for some purpose or the
other. The most common usage is in the form of a doormat at the doorstep. A mat
is a flat piece of material that is used as covering or provides a surface to
work on. But other just being floor-mats, rubber mats have other uses as well.
Mats come in all sizes – small enough to be used as mouse pads, and large
enough to be used in a car to cover the floor. Even the grips of pens are a
kind of mat. In the gym, they are used as anti-vibration mats, the kind that
covers the boxing ring floor. They can take a lot of weight and minimize
vibration and prevent the weight from bouncing back, they work similar to shock
absorbers. In the industrial sector, mats made out of rubber are used in making
conveyor belts to transport raw materials from one machine to the other.
Rubber mats today come with an Eco friendly manufacturing
process, the result being the Recycled Rubber Mat. The most widely known method
of rubber recycling involves vehicle tires. Once the tires of vehicles are
completely worn out and declared unfit for use, they are recycled and used in
other products such as rubber-based balls (Basketball), shoe products and
making rubber bumpers and mats. Tires are among the largest sources of waste
due to their continuous production and use. They can create health hazards if
not disposed of properly. Rubber is said to be the most reused waste material
as they are both flexible and resilient and fit to be used in other products.
