Keeps the Tires out of Waterways and Soil

Postby allenlu » Wed Jun 23, 2021 8:20 pm

Dumps filled with scrap tires normally result in the pollution of water resources. See, as the tired decompose, they release chemicals into the soil and water that are harmful to the environment. As you can see, old tires don’t have to end up in the landfills. Tire recycling is the best and most ecologically-sound way of disposing of old tires.

To understand more about this problem, you’ll first need to have a rudimentary understanding of the basic components of a tire.

Generally, tires contain various elements such as natural rubber, polymer fabrics, carbon steel, fillers, silica, and more.

It’s the heavy metals such as silica and chemicals that usually of concern; as the tires disintegrate, some of these elements seep into the ground, through a process known as leeching.

Now, some of these elements have carcinogenic and mutagenic properties, and will normally contaminate the soil around.

Even worse, these elements can equally contaminate the groundwater nearby, and if the poisoned water comes into contact with animals and humans, it can endanger their lives as well.
