POPLE, PLANETS, PROFIT

Now is the time for businesses to reassess their environmental impact. Taking a leadership role in this endeavor can bring about a substantial positive change for our planet.

Companies can no longer solely focus on the traditional bottom line of profit; it is imperative to shift attention to the triple bottom line: PEOPLE, PLANET, PROFIT. With tires being discarded at a rate of 1.1 tire per person annually, this equates to over 300 million tires scrapped yearly. The scarcity of landfill space intensifies as tires, non-biodegradable and consuming substantial negative space, contribute to the problem.

The encouraging news is that tires are entirely recyclable. The exceptional quality of steel and rubber present in tires allows for seamless reintegration into the manufacturing process with minimal or no adjustments to existing procedures. Products incorporating recycled tires consistently outperform those made from traditional materials. The global impact of reducing waste tires is profound, encompassing improved socio-economic justice, diminished landfill usage, reduced carbon footprint, and the creation of a safer society.

The Surging Issue of Used Tires in Florida

The unchecked growth of the population and the increasing number of vehicles in Florida have given rise to a significant environmental issue concerning the disposal of used tires. Various studies quantify the global waste tire problem at between 1 billion and 1.8 billion used tires disposed of worldwide each year. This represents approximately 2-3% of all waste material collected. The US alone sends between 246 million and 300 million end-of-life tires to waste annually. Over 24,000,000 tires were discarded in 2020 In Florida alone… and growing.

This situation underscores the urgent need to address the problem sustainably and responsibly, seeking effective solutions for the management and recycling of used tires.
