ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF WASTE TYRES
Tyres are designed to last and are therefore difficult to break down and separate into their constituent parts.

Adding to this problem, disposal releases potentially harmful compounds into the environment, e.g. polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), benzene and phenol which have suspected carcinogenic properties. Studies in Sweden estimate that 14 tonnes of PAHs are deposited onto Swedish roads each year through tyre wear (ENDS 1999). Landfill disposal and incineration also release these harmful substances
