Waste Tire solutions

In the United States there is a serious safety problem, and economic opportunity. Automotive tires are often forgotten about when it comes to maintenance, and disposing of them. The Federal Government has billions in grants available for companies to find alternative uses for tires other than land filling. Few companies have volunteered their services because there is a lack of technology, and economic incentive to recycle tires. Land filling has some short-term benefits, but in the long-term, the health effects will affect you from disease-ridden mosquitoes, and pollution, to uncontrollable tire fires.

In 2000 there were almost 300 million used tires discarded in the United States, over half of the tires were recycled or elese untilized for other applications. Approximately 110 million were either legally land filled or illegally added to the over 800 plus million tires that are already land filled in the United States. (ARC Inc)

Waste tires represent a number of environmental, health and safety hazards to the public, as well as a public nuisance. In the state of Pennsylvania, about 12 million scrap tires are generated a year. While approximately 16 million scrap tires remain in large stockpiles sca


Tire piles have the potential to create an environmental and health hazards for residents in neighboring communities. Rainwater collects in the tire piles creating an ideal environment for mosquitoes, which are known to transmit disease to humans. Because the tires partially fill with water regardless of their position and absorb sunlight, they provide an ideal environment for hatched larva. Although tire dumps are sometimes associated with rodents, the primary problem has been various species of mosquitoes. (DEP-4/26/01)

With asphalt/tire rubber, there are two processes that are used in road construction. One is referred to as the "wet" process. It consists of a blend of asphalt cement, reclaimed tire rubber, and certain additives in which the rubber component is at last 15 percent by weight of the total blend and has a reaction with the asphalt cement sufficiently to cause swelling of the rubber particles. Once the mixture is heated to 440Fdegrees, it produces a thick binder that is pumped into a drum mixer and mixed with aggregate. Thus the ultraviolet inhibitors, anti-oxidants and other chemicals from the scrap tire rubber are transferred to the asphalt. This gives the asphalt a greater age and crack resistance that contributes to a longer pavement life. When this membrane is used as a thin cover spray, and is applied to the road surface, it has the recycling equivalent to using 700 scraped tires per lane mile (12'X5, 280'). If a one-inch thick application of asphalt-rubber hot mix process is used, it has the equivalent of approximately 1,250 recycled tires per lane mile. The "wet" process has been used for nearly 30 years, four continents, and 45 US states. (Rubber Paving)

With the ever-increasing demand for automobiles and their replacement tires, we can no longer overlook the need to find a source for this waste. Land filling and Burning have proven not to be very feasible any longer. The search for alternative uses for these by products of modernization must be found. Currently such uses are roofing shingles and under lament, mouse pads, sound deafening material for cars, tennis balls. TO possibly help offset the cost of research, a possibility might be to add another dollar to the state tax assigned to new tires. By doing so, o
