Tire recycling methods are used in many countries. It is estimated that around 250,000,000 waste tires are generated in Europe each year. Over the years, new quantities of tires have been added to the billions stored or buried in landfills, as well as countless millions found in illegal places, warehouses and fields around the world. Recycling is the process of collecting and processing materials that would otherwise be thrown in the trash, with the goal of creating a new product. Although it seems like a simple concept, reality is a little different. The benefits of recycling play a key role in the future of our planet and the preservation of our environment. Let's begin with what we can do to protect it:
1. With recycling, we reduce the consumption of natural resources
2. By recycling, we protect the natural habitats of our flora and fauna
3. Recycling reduces water pollution
4. Recycling saves energy
5. Less garbage in landfills are just some of the many benefits of recycling.
Recent research has contributed to the discovery of many new products and applications derived from recycled tires. Municipal and industrial waste management traditionally consists of collection, followed by disposal. Today, it is generally accepted that society must move towards options that are more oriented towards preserving the environment. Solutions that contribute to this are reducing waste and increasing the amount of material that can be reused.
