Tyres and automotive waste
In the UK we travel some 650 billion passenger kilometres by road every year, about 65% of goods are moved by road.
Tyres are used in agricultural and industrial machinery, and for transport ranging from aeroplanes to bicycles. More and more tyres are being used and further increases are expected over the next 25 years. This consumption uses non renewable resources in tyre production, causes emissions to air, land and water during their use and requires management at the end of their use.
The best options for used tyres is retreading, a long established practice for road haulage and aircraft undercarriage tyres. Retreads are currently being promoted in car use.
