Overview
A tyre is 'a thick piece of rubber which is fitted onto the wheels of vehicles such as cars, buses, lorries, and bicycles'[1].
The preferred method of treating waste tyres is for source-segregated tyres to undergo a waste Recovery operation to produce tyre-derived rubber materials[2]. It is illegal to landfill untreated, whole tyres.
The Quality Protocol developed by WRAP in 2009 and updated in 2014 defines the End of Waste Criteria for the production of tyre-derived products. Once these have been met then waste tyres ceases to be waste as the material has been fully recovered[2].
Macro Tonnages
The most recent information published by DEFRA [3] [4]is summarized in the pie chart below, with 323,109 tonnes of rubber waste generated in the UK in 2016 (tyres being part of this category and the broader tonnages summarized in UK Waste Tonnage):
The macro numbers above do not breakdown the component elements of tyres, but the following tyre headers in the page are a selection of those captured by local authorities handling tyres and as reported through WasteDataFlow.
