Keeping track of used tires is a constant problem for auto repair shops. In addition to their sheer quantity, disposing of them has substantial financial and environmental ramifications. Phoenix Rubber is committed to offering economical and legal used tire disposal solutions that benefit the environment and your company because we recognize these complexities. Maintaining operational effectiveness and upholding environmental stewardship require navigating the tire recycling and responsible disposal landscape.

Severe environmental risks, such as possible pest breeding grounds, fire hazards, and the release of toxic chemicals into the soil and water, can result from improper tire disposal. In addition, breaking state and federal laws can cost you a lot of money and harm your reputation. Adopting sustainable tire disposal best practices can improve your bottom line and is more important than simply avoiding fines.

Comprehending the Tire Disposal Environment

When a used tire is taken out of a car, its journey does not end; ideally, it starts a new life. Through a number of strategies, the industry actively works to keep tires out of landfills:

• Fuel Derived from Tires (TDF): Tires, either whole or shred, can be used as an additional fuel source in cement kilns and other industrial settings.
• Applications of Civil Engineering: Tire shreds can be used in septic tank drain fields, landfill liners, and road construction.
• Repurposed Items: One of the most creative solutions is probably turning tires into crumb rubber, which is then used to make new tires, playground surfaces, athletic tracks, and rubberized asphalt.
