How many years more will it take for humanity to understand this predicament and act accordingly to find an innovative way to handle this threat facing humanity. Tyres cause so much atmospheric pollution if allowed to burn in the open, so controlled environment incineration is the only solution. But all the components inside the tyre, rubber, chemicals, filler materials etc which have got thermal content and can be beneficially routed as a fuel substitute is wasted on incineration.
Tyres are a menace everywhere and it is clear in Kuwait where millions of old tyres are waiting either to be recycled or disposed so that future generations do not suffer for this bad state of affairs. The reason is that tyres are not bio-degradable, even if you wait for 500 years it just breaks down into smaller non biodegradable particles, thats all.
At the time of manufacturing tyres, the rubber and chemical mixture has gone through so high temperature and pressure, that the resulting tyre molecule is no complex, that only high temperature and pressure can disturb it again, not the normal atmospheric temperature and pressure.
This tyre cemetery is even visible from space.
What is the most innovative way to check this environmental pollution ? How can we reduce the annual piling up of used rubber tyres across the world at different places. Can we use tyres to
Like old containers are being used to build sturdy houses or warehouses for industrial use can we use tyres productively ?
- build strong compound walls so that the bricks and mortar can be saved ?
- pave Industrial flooring
- pave footpath by the side of roads and highways
- passenger seat benches on sides of highways
- garden stools
- flower pots
Innovative way to dispose of old tyres will indeed be a blessing for mankid.
