Recycled rubber from car tyres is toxic.
It contains a lots of pax’s. They use it to make rubber tiles in playground and a granulate is used in artificial grass fields for sports like soccer ️. They tested the granulate with fish in an aquarium. The fish died and there was a big discussion to forbid the reused car tyre granulate. Especially on fields were children play sports. Many municipalities use cork or something else now because its not safe. Our national gov. did not forbid the use because there was not enough proof that it was dangerous for people.
I don’t even know if they sell these recycled black rubber bowls in my country. But new yellow/red coloured products from china are sold here. They often contain way too much lead.

It has been shown that harmful substances such as cobalt, zinc and mineral oil leak from the rubber granules and end up in the environment. For example, in 2018, after research in ten fields, the RIVM pointed out that rubber granulate can lead to soil and surface water pollution.source:https://eenvandaag.avrotros.nl/amp/...met-aanleg-kunstgrasvelden-met-rubberkorrels/
