Know where to dispose of used tire
It's not as toxic, but the incorrect disposal of tires causes several problems
To dispose of used tire in an environmentally correct way, there are some options, reuse the tire to build pots, furniture, or give another use to the object or apply reverse logistics and return the tire to the place where it was purchased, so that the supplier gives the destination Final.
Pneumatic, better known as a tire, is a rubber tube filled with air and adjusted to the wheel rim of the vehicle, which allows its traction and, at the same time, absorbs shocks with the ground on which the vehicle travels. The tire is not made of materials so harmful as to harm the environment. However, the product format is very conducive to the spread of diseases such as dengue. Furthermore, in Brazil alone, 45 million tires are produced per year and many tires end up thrown into rivers, which increases their gutters and can cause overflows.
retread, donate, sell
Retreading in a workshop and donating to companies that reuse it in other ways are pretty cool attitudes to be done with old tires. There are also artists who use them as raw material to build furniture and other objects. If none of these options are available to you, through the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS) the disposal of used tires is the responsibility of the manufacturer, so it is up to him to collect and dispose of them properly. But don't forget that you are also part of this chain, as a consumer you have an obligation to return the used tire, so contact the manufacturer, the place where you purchased the tire or take it to a voluntary delivery point. Access our Recycling Stations page and find the voluntary drop-off point closest to you.
