Can tyres be recycled?


In most cases, yes, tyres can be recycled.

One of the key components of a tyre that is recycled is the rubber.

Generally recycled tyres are recycled and used in one of these ways:

Rubber can be used to re-tread an old, used tyre

Rubber can be burnt to produce energy for use in manufacturing

Rubber can be shredded and then reconstituted for use in new products - such as shoes, playgrounds, matting, roof tiles and much more.

If you have a tyre you would like to recycle you can contact your council to see if they have a recycling programme for tyres. Alternatively, there are private companies who will recycle a tyre.
