Are your automobile tires looking a little worn out?\u00a0 Rethink the opportunity your tire has if it\u2019s recycled rather than tossed in the trash.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Due to the large volume produced and their durability, tires are among the largest and most problematic sources of waste. Yet, if recycled, they can also be one of the most re-used waste materials, as the rubber is very resilient and can be reused in other products like basketball courts, asphalt, and new athletic shoes. \u00a0Roughly one tire per person per year is generated in the United States.\u00a0 That\u2019s over 308 million tires per year!<\/p>\n
