Enviromentally Friendly Waste Disposal
The retail network, Protyre, removes around 1.5m tyres each year. All of these are disposed of in an environmentally and energy efficient way. The retail network charges a small environmental levy for the safe and efficient disposal of the tyres removed from customers' vehicles. This eliminates the fly tipping which has in the past so often been a highlight of the fast fit industry.
The worn out tyres that we remove from vehicles are collected by a fully licensed Company who recycle the tyres by shredding them and using the shred produced to make Horse Ménage, Play Ground surfaces and many other recycled products. Rubber waste from tyres is also used to help power the kilns in cement production. NONE of the waste from end of life tyres goes into landfill.
Other waste products are also produced from scrap metals to waste oil and catalytic converters. These items are all sold onto appointed suppliers so that the metals can be recycled and the oil can be converted and cleaned for further use.
