You are a tire dealer, operate a car repair shop or run a car dealership where large quantities of old car tires accumulate on a regular basis? Then you are certainly not for the first time in search of a free scrap tire disposal in the area. Moreover, you know that usually depending on the quality and number of pieces, costs for disposal arise.
So you are right to ask: how can turak tyres provide this service? free of charge offers?
By receiving the bad and good used tires: fair-trade
Free of charge through fair-trade
The fair-trade enables us to pass on the old car tires to car retreaders or to export them abroad for reuse. This not only makes economic sense, but also protects our environment. Otherwise it is not possible to offer the service for free. Because with the proceeds from the reuse we pay the costs that arise from the disposal of old tires. In this way, both parties benefit. True to the motto:
A deal is only good if both parties are satisfied with the result.

Undamaged carcass with new tread
Approximately 100 baled scrap tires
If the carcass is intact and the tread depth is at least 1.6 mm in the middle of the tread, used car tires are not waste in the EU and can be reused.
This also applies if the used tires are exported and tread depths of 1.6 mm and less are permitted in the country of destination.
If the legal minimum tread depth is not reached, but the carcass is undamaged, the tread is peeled off and a new one is vulcanized on. Retreaded tires cost 45-60% of a new tire and are therefore eco-efficient in terms of raw material.
Instead of a new tire, the recycled car tire is reused and takes off again.
If reuse or recycling is ruled out, the old tires are recycled for materials or energy. car, bus and truck tires are processed into rubber granulate and rubber flour.
Among other things, they find new use on sports fields. Or are added to the bitumen in the asphalt to reduce noise.
What to do with old tires?
The Recycling and Waste Management Act stipulates that car tires can be disposed of at recycling centers, tire dealers and professional disposal companies. But what happens then?
According to CORDIS, the world’s waste management agency, 70% of the world’s used tires end up in landfills and are incinerated.
With yearly approx. 100 million old tires that accumulate in the federal republic of germany alone, this corresponds to a volume of approx. 583.000 tons. But in fact, only 34% of our tires are recycled for energy, which is almost exactly half of the total.
In 2018, 66% of all scrap tires in germany were already being recycled. So we are on the right track.
