With the arrival of spring, demand increases at tire retailers, auto repair shops, and car dealerships. Winter tires need to be removed and all-season tires inspected. This leads to an increase in used tires that must be disposed of properly. ZARE's partners are committed to professional and environmentally sound disposal and also recognize the responsibility of workshops, tire retailers, and car dealerships for environmentally responsible disposal.
The well-known motto “From O to O” reminds drivers every year to change their tires. With spring, temperatures rise and drivers switch to summer tires, which entails the disposal of worn tires. This task is usually carried out by car repair shops, tire dealers and car dealerships, who can also ensure proper disposal.
Consumers are increasingly aware of environmental issues and demand environmentally sound waste disposal, including used tires. These contain valuable raw materials that can be recycled within a sustainable circular economy. As ZARE, we warn against illegal dumping of used tires and advocate for certified disposal to prevent environmental damage.
Certified waste disposal companies ensure the proper sorting and recycling of used tires. Depending on their condition, they are retreaded, exported as used tires, or recycled materially and chemically. Products made from recycled materials, such as safety mats for playgrounds or animal welfare mats for stables, are examples of the versatile uses of recycled materials.
To ensure proper disposal, ZARE's partners offer reliable contact points for workshops, tire retailers, and car dealerships. Further information on products made from recycled materials can be found on the website www.initiative-new-life.de
