The Tirex Corporation develops semi-cryogenic tire recycling process technology. It offers TCS System, a tire reduction system that freezes scrap tire pieces with cold air and then breaks the rubber into upmarket cryogenic crumb rubber through its fracturing mill, as well as separates the marketable strands of steel and fiber from the crumb rubber. The Tirex Corporation was formerly known as Tirex America, Inc. and changed its name to The Tirex Corporation in July 1997. The company was founded in 1987 and is based in Westport, Connecticut.
