Bonn, March 02.03.2021nd, XNUMX It is a fixed date for many vehicle owners: the tire change from winter to summer tires is due around Easter. Car workshops, tire dealers and car dealerships store the tires or dispose of worn models. You should plan early to avoid capacity bottlenecks when disposing of used tires.
Most drivers leave changing tires to professionals: With almost 48 million registered vehicles in Germany, the expected rush to garages, tire dealers and car dealerships is high - and the number of tires to be disposed of is high: a large proportion of the tires are changed when they are changed stored in the warmer months of the year and used again later, but in Germany alone more than 580.000 tons of used tires are produced each year, which are no longer suitable for use in road traffic due to insufficient profile or damage.
Experience from recent years shows that many professional waste disposal companies experience capacity bottlenecks due to the volume of tyres. Well-prepared waste tire disposal prevents the backlog of recycling and can be organized in advance. Therefore, clarify in good time which provider you are handing over the tires to. The used tire disposal company picks up your tires with a truck or places containers on your premises, which are exchanged after filling.
There are many reasons for the capacity bottlenecks at disposal companies: Cement works are increasingly doing without old tires as fuel, the demand for rubber granules in granulating plants has been exhausted and it is also becoming increasingly difficult to export old tires abroad. The old tire mountain is therefore steadily increasing.
Responsible specialist companies take care of a used tire disposal company in good time, which works according to the guidelines of the recycling law. Certified scrap tire disposal companies are looking for future-oriented solutions to reduce the recycling backlog and ensure conscientious disposal of scrap tires. Because tires can be completely reused and recycled: with retreading, material or thermal recycling. The ZARE initiative https://zertifizierte-altreifenentsorger.de/ has been drawing attention to the issue of professional disposal of used tires for years. With the campaign package for tire service companies and garages, the initiative provides easy-to-understand information material in the form of a flyer and poster. This campaign package is rounded off with a seal "We're thinking about tomorrow!", with which tire service companies or garages can also draw attention to the fact that they have the used tires disposed of by a certified company. The promotional package can be ordered via the ZARE website https://zertifizierte-altreifenentsorger.de/aktionspaket-reifenservicebetrieb/ for a fee of EUR 149,00 plus VAT. The prerequisite is that the tire service company or the car workshop have the waste disposed of by a certified company.
