Convert Waste Tyres into Useful Energy

Given their purpose, tyres are designed to last for a long time but what happens to them when they are no longer fit for the job?

Under European law it is no longer possible to dump car tyres into landfill sites which means we have to find a solution to the problem of what to do with old tyres when they have reached the end of their life. Recycling is an essential step to take in a country where the waste produced exceeds in tonnes. According to the Waste Atlas Platform, about 30 million tonnes of waste is produced in the UK every year. This waste just doesn't fall on the earth.Waste tyres can also be recycled and changed into useful energy for a sustainable development of our Mother Earth.


Any time you're going to work with something like turning tires into energy, you have to think about the trade off that has to occur. What this means is that you're going to have to burn the tires or do something else to get energy from them.  Making sure you are able to turn your tires into energy without using more energy than they create is the only real way this will work for you. Figure out if you really will benefit and then you can know if it's the right thing to keep looking into.

Speak with your energy provider in the area to see if you can have them do this kind of work for you. See what they charge if you were to give them your own tires to turn them into energy for you. This should be much cheaper than if you were to use regular energy, and if that's not the case then try to figure out someone else to work with. Storing up your tires for later when you can find people that are willing to help for less is another option.


Recycling old tires help prevent pollution of the environment. The emission of poisonous gas into the atmosphere can be significantly reduced through this process. These gaseous emissions are quite harmful to human and animal health. Gallons of oil are used to produce brand new tires. Recycling old tires help reduce the energy consumption in producing new tires. The reduction in oil consumption helps save natural resources in the long run. 

Once you have an idea of what you can do to turn your tires into energy you can use it can really pay off. You will be able to have more energy in your hands than ever. It is always best to think through what you can do to get started today!
