Publication Year

Abstract

Currently over 400,000 tonnes per annum of post-consumer tyres are generated in the UK. With traffic forecasts predicted to increase this number is only likely to increase. In order to quantify the current situation in the Tyre Industry mass balance models were developed to generate post-consumer tyre arisings by region, and resource use and environmental impacts of tyre manufacture, tyre use and tyre reprocessing. Post-consumer tyre arisings were generated for base year of 1998 and predicted for future years. These were compared with estimated future reprocessing capacities. The other mass balance models. gave data on the resource use from tyre manufacture, use and reprocessing.
