Tires, an environmental nightmare the world over.
Millions of automotive tires are scrapped everyday, in all parts
of the developed world. Almost all of these tires end up in
landfill sites where they take many many years to decompose. Stacks
of old tires also present potential health risks, scrap tire piles
can become homes to pests and provide the perfect environment for
mosquitoes to breed, they are a potential fire hazard, and they can
contaminate surface water run-off.
