Tyre Recycling Please click here to view the whole site
Used tyres make up a significant proportion of the waste produced from old vehicles and are scrapped once no longer safe to use on vehicles. Mtr Bristol Ltd processes many thousands of used tyres every month using the latest Tyre Baling technology which allows previously useless tyres to be used in an ecologically and environmentally friendly manner. The Tyres are compressed using a specialised (PAS108 specification) Tyre Baler and then transported to various sites where they are used in the construction industry.
Mtr Bristol Ltd takes Tyre Recycling
very seriously and works closely with
www.PAS108.com and
the Environment Agency to ensure that all legal requirements
are satisfied.
THE LAW HAS CHANGED! New legislation
means that whole tyres have been banned from landfill from July 2003 and
shredded tyres from July 2006. The new rules come as part of the EU's Landfill
Directive, which will see a ban on dumping used tyres across the whole of the
union.
Did you know...
Each year 40,000,000 tyres are removed from vehicles in the UK. If all these
tyres were placed end-to-end, the line could stretch from London to Sydney,
Australia and then back again (approximately 21,000 miles) and there would still
be tyres left over
