Answer 2

Well over 300 million tyres are scrapped in the United States each year. Issue here is recycling. The very thing we like so much in tyres – tough and durability - makes them a challenge to recycle. This is not to say that tyres cannot be recycled, it is just a matter of finding the uses of old and used tyres and getting them to a recycler.
