25 May the Ugly tyres

Murrumbeena

The ugly tyres brings us nearly everywhere, and give us some change in daily life
But it also keeps a lot of health and environmental hazards in itself.
A significant proportion of these tyres end up in landfill or are illegally dumped.
This affects the environment in several ways:

Posing health, environmental and economic threats through air, water and land pollution.
Littering our landscapes and waterways.
Taking up scarce landfill space.

But the tyre disposal also represents a lost opportunity; as waste tyres are a potentially valuable resource.
There are existing and emerging technologies for utilising waste tyres including recycling of rubber
into the manufacture of new tyres, re-treading,
road construction, energy recovery, engineering applications such as athletic tracks and playground bases,
and other manufactured products.
