Used tyres consist of steel wire, textiles and rubbers.
What do I achieve by recycling tyres?
* I avoid them being sent to the controlled tip. Tyres entail many problems for disposal.
* I manage their remains to be used as raw material (fuel) in the furnaces at cement factories.
* Fossil fuel saving (carbon, petrol, etc.).
How are tyres recycled?
* They are transported from the Garbigune to a plant where they are broken down. The fragmented material is sent to cement factories to be used as fuel.
