The disposal of waste tires is a globally recognized problem
In Brazil it is estimated that approximately 450 thousand tons of tires are discarded annually (SEST/SENAT, 2017)
Unserviceable tires are responsible for a number of problems when they are irregularly disposed near public places such as empty lots, water bodies and traffic routes, attracting the disposal of other wastes in these same environments and contributing to the proliferation of disease vectors
Summary
The disposal of waste tires is a globally recognized problem. It is estimated that around 1.5 billion used tires are discarded annually worldwide (ETRMA, 2011). In Brazil it is estimated that approximately 450 thousand tons of tires are discarded annually (SEST/SENAT, 2017). Unserviceable tires are responsible for a number of problems when they are irregularly disposed near public places such as empty lots, water bodies and traffic routes, attracting the disposal of other wastes in these same environments and contributing to the proliferation of disease vectors. The alarming figures for illegal disposal and the problems related to the irregular dumping of tires have driven the development of methods for reusing or recycling both end-of-life tires and waste produced from used tires
