Could Covid impact lead to widespread ‘dead-end’ stockpiling of waste tyres?

Date: 20th May 2020 Author: Andrew Bogie Comments: 0

The Tyre Recovery Association is urging the Environment Agency to be more vigilant about stockpiling waste tyres.

With recycling gate prices high and cashflow under enormous pressure, the temptation to accept unrealistic collection price offers is great. However, if the collector is unable to process waste tyres as a result, abandoned waste tyre stockpiles could become “an ugly and very expensive problem”, which could prove damaging to the reputation of the tyre business as a whole.
