Scrap tyres dumped in to forest in large quantity causing unnecessary landfilling and damaging the forest vegetation cover as well as it is a serious hazard to wildlife. As lot many trees are cut down every year as to dump these unwanted disposal of scrap tyres.
Massive disposal sites of scrap tires is common in many cities of modern times. The stored used tires slowly degrade under the effects of solar radiation as well as rusting of steel takes place. Degraded material would slowly contaminate soil and underground water over years.

Tires burn with thick black smoke and heat, quickly spreads over the whole disposal area, and leaves oily residue contaminating the soil. Such fires are difficult to put off and generates significant amount of air pollution.

Lets Reduce, Reuse and Recycle Scrap Tires..

Piles of waste tires harbor mosquitoes, snakes and other vermin. West Nile Virus, transmitted by mosquitoes threatens health. Many tire piles have existed for a significant length of time and present a fire hazard. Tire piles continue to challenge state and local officials responsible for cleaning up unauthorized dumpsites and preventing further waste accumulation.

Tires are made of strong and durable material, and just because they are no longer fit to be used for your vehicle, it doesn't mean their days of usefulness are over. Finding ways to reuse your old scrap tires can greatly reduce the amount of waste you and your family produce each year

Reduce, reuse and recycle, the three R’s for waste management, are effective measures that serve as alternatives to disposing waste in landfills.

Tires are made of rubber, fibre and steel. The rubber is a combination of natural rubber, petroleum products, chemicals and carbon black. These additives are necessary to improve the handling and wear of natural rubber. When tire piles burn, these chemicals emerge as two things: 1) oily residues that leach into the soil and 2) thick black smoke which contains large amounts of air pollutants. Tire fire emissions can pose significant health hazards to all involved (firefighters, residents, etc.) and include irritation of the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes, respiratory effects, central nervous system depression, and cancer. Long-term environmental and health effects are unknown.

Scrap rubber have a very long degradation period of approx. 500 years, hence rendering them a threat by being virtually non-degradable.

Rubber stock piles are ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes and small insects which can rapidly spread diseases like dengue and malaria posing enormous health risks.

The compiled scrap rubber if burned are not easily extinguishable and emit toxic gases like SO2, NO2, CO and HCl which are further perilous for the environment.

Waste Rubber pile is dumped on open grounds, which cover large areas of land rendering them unsuitable for vegetation.

Before - After Recycling

Recycling can reduce a range of pollutants from entering the air and water. By decreasing the need to extract and process new raw materials from the earth, recycling can eliminate the pollution associated with the initial stages of a product's development: material extraction, refining and processing. These activities pollute the air, land and water with toxic materials, such as ammonia, carbon monoxide, methane, and sulfur dioxides. Further reductions are achieved as a result of energy saving, thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollutants.

What Scrap Tires can do?????

Scarp tires can
- Provide good living conditions for mosquitoes that can spread diseases such as Encephalitis and West Nile Virus.

-Provide breeding grounds for rats, snakes, ticks, and other vectors.

-Present a fire hazard when improperly stored.

-Emit dangerous oils and soot into the air and water when burned illegally.
