Bonn, February 02.02.2021nd, 2020 E-mobility has gained a significant market share in 2. The issue of the environment and sustainability is important to more and more drivers and they want to make their contribution to reducing CO600.000 emissions. Overall, more consumers are paying attention to the environmental compatibility of the products they use. In Germany alone, almost 3.000 tons of used tires accumulate every year - if you put them all together, that would result in a volume of around XNUMX single-family houses - in other words, a large village.
As early as 2015, responsible waste tire disposal companies came together in the ZARE initiative (certified waste tire disposal companies) to address the issue of sustainable tire recycling. Today, a total of 19 companies guarantee that no tire ends up in the trash and that every tire is sent to a sensible recycling process. This includes tire retreading at the forefront. But also the export of used tires, the use of granules and rubber powder obtained from tires or thermal recycling in thermal power stations.
Unfortunately, there are still companies that collect used tires and either dump them on heaps or dump them illegally in forests and fields - both are punishable and both harm nature - the ZARE initiative lists illegal dumping - in total there were over 2020 cases in Germany in 150 ; the number of unreported cases is likely to be significantly higher. You can find more information about this here.
Show your customers that you act responsibly. The ZARE initiative has prepared an easy-to-understand information flyer, provides you with a poster and you can use the signet "We're thinking about tomorrow!" to draw your customers' attention to the fact that you have the used tires disposed of by a certified company.
You can easily find the information material on the ZARE website for a fee of € 149 + VAT. The prerequisite for this is that you have it disposed of by a certified company.
Lead by example! It is important that you inform your customers about the environmentally friendly and certified disposal of used tires, that we work together to sensitize drivers to this topic. In doing so, you show that you take responsibility for your actions and ensure that the tires are used again via the material cycle.
