On December 8, 2024, we celebrate World Climate Day, a global day of action that focuses on the urgency of climate protection. The ZARE initiative is also using this day to draw attention to the important role that proper disposal of old tires plays in protecting the climate.
Conserving resources through responsible disposal of old tires
Millions of old tires are produced worldwide every year. If they are disposed of improperly, they can cause significant environmental damage - from the release of harmful greenhouse gases when burned illegally to hazards to soil and water. ZARE is committed to ensuring that old tires are returned to the cycle and that valuable materials such as rubber and steel find new uses.
Recycling processes not only reduce the amount of waste, but also lower the energy required to produce new raw materials. Every old tire that is disposed of correctly contributes to reducing CO₂ emissions.
Climate protection in practice: The work of ZARE
The ZARE network brings together certified specialist companies that meet the highest environmental and quality standards. Modern recycling technologies transform old tires into sustainable products such as rubber granules, floor coverings or substitute fuels. This innovative use not only protects the environment, but also actively contributes to reducing CO₂ emissions.
Acting Together for Climate Protection
ZARE calls on companies, municipalities and private individuals to recycle used tires exclusively through certified disposal companies. Every single step - from professional collection to recycling - is a contribution to conserving our resources and curbing the climate crisis.
Making a statement on World Climate Day
Together we want to show that climate protection begins with proper disposal.
With ZARE's commitment and work, we can make a difference together. Because every recycled product counts - for the climate, for the environment and for future generations.
