UK tyre body supports recycling scheme

ERJ staff report (DS)

London -- TyreSafe, the UK's leading tyre safety organisation is to support the UK tyre industry's Responsible Recycler Scheme (RRS). TyreSafe said it hopes to help cut the number of illegal part-worn tyres entering the market and also encourage safer worker practices within tyre dealers, garages and workshops.

“The Responsible Recycler Scheme is of significant importance to the tyre industry and we are delighted to offer our support,” comments Stuart Jackson, chairman, TyreSafe. “In addition to the detrimental impact to the environment and cost caused by illegal disposal, tyres that are not properly recycled pose a serious safety threat to motorists if they re-enter the market as illegal part-worn tyres.”
