Though it received far less enthusiasm from fans and critics than the series or the original film, the 2010 film Sex and the City 2 – the second spinoff movie from the popular HBO series – was a big box office success, grossing nearly $300 million worldwide.

What Is Tire Recycling Tire recycling is the process of converting end-of-life or unwanted old tires into material that can be utilized in new products. End-of-life tires typically become candidates for recycling when they become no longer functional due to wear or damage, and can no longer be re-treaded or re-grooved. According to the tire industry, tire recycling is a major success story.
