Offer recycling incentives for tire companies to recycle their goods.
Find ways to re-use items in tires, for energy.

"Tires are one of the coolest products to recycle because they can be turned into such a wide variety of products. Your flat tire could end up burned off as fuel, turned into playground equipment or even used to make artificial turf"

"Tire degradation process takes tens of years, and their storage is associated with a risk of fire and the release of many hazardous substances into the atmosphere"  Finding ways to recycle these substances is critical for our environment.

Used tires are accumulating in mass quantities in our land fills, in deserted run down areas and are not being recycled appropriately.

"The United States Environmental Protection Agency estimates that two billion to three billion used tires are in thousands of dumps around country and that the pile grows by 280 million tires a year. Although rubber and energy companies are trying to develop new ways to use old tires, fewer than 5 percent are recycled."

"The agency said at least 87 significant tire fires occurred in the United States last year, double the number in 1987. In almost every case, fires were deliberately set, took days or weeks to extinguish, caused extensive pollution of air and streams, and resulted in evacuations and injuries to firefighters."

Tire Manufacturing process is a long process which includes a number of hazardous operations. It involves lots of chemicals that are toxic to the human body

Pneumatic Tire Manufacturing process includes lots of human interacting hazardous operations like tire building, green tire painting and curing.

*Butadiene rubber
*Styrene butadiene rubber.
*Halogenated polyisobutylene rubber commonly known as Halobutyl rubber.

STEEL

TEXTILE

FILLERS (CARBON BLACK, AMORPHOUS PRECIPITATED SILICA)

ANTIOXIDANTS
ANTIOZONANTS

CURING SYSTEMS (SULFUR, ZINC OXIDE)
