I honestly don’t understand it. There are recycling plants in the UK which shred the tyres into small rubber granules to be used in playgrounds. These also I believe can be mixed with bitumen. Surely it should be comparable with the price of shipping them overseas, nevermind the environmental impact?
We need to build hundreds playgrounds a day with the amount of tyres we need to recycle in England. Maybe we should focus on making cities smaller, more accessible by bikes and pedestrians, reducing the total need for cars. As James May just said, “cars don’t belong in town and cities”
Tires make for a decent enegry source. Cement plants have been exploring replacing coal for tires. Burning tires are better for the environment as it would eliminate microplastics. Wouldnt be any worst than burning oil.
