Environmental Impacts of Tires

Manufacturing Tires

Tires contain a lot of metal which are very polluting to extract

Tires contain about 25% synthetic rubber which contains oil and other hydrocarbons that are harmful to environment when extracted

Disposing of Tires

Tires are left in landfills or burned

Burning tires creates a lot of pollution because the synthetic rubber they contain is primary oil/hydrocarbons

50% of tires are recycled
