Thousands millions of cars tyres wear out where doe's all the rubber go?
Answers:
recycled.. into asphalt mostly.
other things?
playground 'sand' (they call it crumbs), playground equipment, roofing tiles, interlocking landscaping brick, rubber stucco, industrial floor tiles (skating rink floors etc), and the one I never would have thought. livestock mattresses.. apparently shredded its very soft, easy to clean and cows love to sleep in it. (cows need beds too! LOL)
Onto the roadways.
sometimes they recycle it into surfaces used on playgrounds. Sometimes they are just piled up somewhere, until they catch on fire and burn for 75 years
they used to go in a big storage bin in different states and cities,and now there grinding them up,and mixing them with the new type of asphalt there using on the highways and roads,it make the roads last longer ,and its cheaper to do this with them ,than to try and re-cycle them,its working out good so far,and one thing is for sure they,ll never run out of old tires,good luck,i hope this help,s.
Tires that are worn down can be re-treaded, to be sold again as tires. Sometimes however tires are melted down for the oil that they contain.
Bloody China where they retread them
dust particules/pollution for the part that disappears, the rest is recycled for remoulds, and other uses such as playgrounds.etc
most are recycled, to make new tyres, or for use on the roads, or for playgrounds.
I know
With aids being big issue, they use them to make condoms, for all those big black guys
The rubber particles stick to the road. You can notice this on motorways (highways)- it looks like tracks- where more cars have driven on average.
Other things that stick to the road include platinum, which is used in catalytic converters in some exhausts (mufflers).
The rubber from the tyres bonds with the tarmac on the road.
In the UK they're going to start using old tyres to make roadways over disused rail lines in order to ease congestion, should start doing it within the next few years
As you drive, tiny particles of rubber are left on the road surface.
That's why, if it's been dry for a couple of weeks, and then it rains, the roads are especially slippery for the first few hours.
They get burnt in springfield havent you seen the simpsons
recycled , battery cases are recycled tyres the rubber is stripped of mixed with a chemical which makes it set hard, a lot are dumped
