What Benefits Can You Get by Recycling Old Tyres

Farmers, mechanics, or even weekend car enthusiasts, will know the struggle of old tyres disposal. Getting rid of tyres may be somewhat straightforward, but you may not be aware that correctly doing this has fantastic environmental benefits. While rubber is used in many different formats, it is tyres that tend to cause a bit of trouble for the environment.

At Metro Waste, one of our unique services includes tyre disposal in a recycling context. If you have some tyres to get rid of, bring them to Metro Waste, where we will put them on track to their most environmentally sustainable journey.

Manufacturing

One of the core environmental benefits of recycling tyres, and rubber, in general, is that repurposing is a viable option. Repurposing rubber can cut down the manufacturing time of tyres by up to 40%. Rather than creating these materials from scratch, you can decrease carbon emissions by reusing old rubber from tyres.

It starts with Metro Waste, where we do everything we can to keep rubber materials out of landfill due to their hazardous effects when disposed of incorrectly. Taking your tyres and delivering them to an appropriate facility is just one way that we can cut down on the carbon emissions that come with disposal.

Carbon Emissions

The regular disposal of tyres often involves them ending up at a landfill, and like a lot of materials are some landfill sites, where burning is the preferred practice. The burning of rubber releases many hazardous toxins into the area that not only pollute the region but also have been proven to contribute to global warming. A fantastic way to ensure you are decreasing your contribution to carbon emissions is to take more substantial rubber materials, like tyres, to Metro Waste, where we will handle the rest. Avoiding the burning of rubber is just one of the ways to ensure that you are doing your part.

Reducing Landfill

Like all disposal materials, the more you get rid of in a traditional means, the larger the landfill space becomes. Increasing landfill spaces in South Australia result in the deconstruction of natural habitats for animals, as well as polluting bodies of water and soil. Recycling, in general, is one of the best ways to slow down the expansion of landfill spaces. It's the only way to go since our problem has become universal. Due to their size, tires can take up a lot of space, and rubber, in general, does not decompose, quickly.

If you have a few flat tyres, or you have held onto a significant amount of these products, bring them to Metro Waste where we will distribute them to the relevant areas of recycling for repurposing. Do your part with Metro Waste!
