Over at this web site is a method of recycling chewing gum. As the person explains, 472 million tons of chewing gum  is consumed internationally, creating a stretch of gum that could blanket the United States—polluting sidewalks, streets, and forest preserves. So how do we chew less gum? By chewing it again.

Gum can be re-chewed by simply adding sugar. Once you’ve extracted all the flavor, simply coating your chewed gum in sugar (or Splenda, if that’s what you prefer) can make it taste as good as new. There are additional ways to alter this formula, such as adding hot sauce and cinnamon to imitate Big Red, or mint leaves for cleaning up your stinky breath.
