Rubber prices rise to lead chain reaction

Harbin Daily News This year, the soaring price of natural rubber is causing a chain reaction. The person in charge of a large tire sales shop in Hegu Street, an area with concentrated sales of tires in Harbin, told reporters that the purchase price of used tires had doubled from the same period of last year. Last year, a salvage car was about 3 to 4 yuan, and it has now risen to 6 to 7 yuan.

The main purchasers of used tires are concentrated in the southern cities. The used tires are mainly used to make plastic runways and plastic playgrounds. Some trailers, large waste tires, can also be used as spare tires after being modified.
