What is the problem with not recycling tires?What can be done to help the situation?What good will come from recycling tires?
Tyres require significant resources and energy to manufacture. Recovery of some of the resources (such as carbon black, steel, hydrocarbons) and energy can occur through pyrolysis though this requires stringent regulation of emmissions to prevent escape of pollutants, and with current technology will still release CO2. Whole tyres in landfills create instability and allow pockets for potentially explosive methane to pool. some landfills chip the tyres before landfilling. Mountains of stored tyres are a fire hazard. I have seen very successful reuse of tyres as material to construct comfortable outdoor furniture.
The best way to recycle tires or any kind of trash is to make oil out of it. Its not at all hard to do but no one ever has done as of this moment.
Not recycling tires can be potential fire hazards when they are in a pile. They also collect alot of water which can cause issues with mossqutioe breeding. Tires can be collected and retreaded, or shredded up. The shredding tires can be used for building roads and if pebbled can be used to build other rubber materials. Hope this helps
