To understand why so many tires end up in landfill and what we can do to change this, it’s necessary to know how they get there. The life cycle of a rubber tire is as follows:
A) With the use of new and emerging technologies, tire manufacturers can develop increasingly durable products. Enhanced compounds and more efficient camber tire shaping extends life on the road, reduces frequency of repairs, increases consumer safety and, in some cases, also reduces end waste.

B) High quality manufacturing and delivery lowers potential waste at production.
C) Direct distribution through retailers decreases inventory times and ensures tires reach customers in a faultless condition, with all safety requirements met.
D) Rate of wear of and length of life now depends on how the tire is used. Varying levels of maintenance and care mean the same product could last different amounts of time for different customers.
E) To further reduce waste, retailers and manufacturers implement specific rules regarding retreads, returns and replacements. This is part of commercial promises to limit, as far as possible, the number of tires customers need to purchase.
F) Once tires make it to a landfill, they can be reused if the right technologies are available to restructure and repurpose them. They are combusted and processed into new items, and manufacturing fuels.
