Tyre Disposal and Recycling

It is now standard practice for tyre retailers to impose a tyre disposal charge when you change your tyres, which tends typically to be about 1.00 a tyre. You may wonder why you have to pay this charge - after all tyre disposal charges have not always been the norm.

The real answer to this question is that it is a simple case of economics - a case of supply and demand. Going back twenty years the scrap disposal scenario was totally different to the way it is today. It used to be the case that car tyre retreading companies would collect the majority of used tyres as the raw material for their production. They used to pick up the used tyres free of charge (or even pay for the privilege).

However, that was when over 4 million retreaded car tyres were sold in the UK every year. In the meantime the market for British manufactured retreads has been squeezed by cheap new tyres from the Far East to the point where the UK market is no more than a tenth of what it was. This means that retreaders no longer pick up the scrap tyres. This is done by professional tyre disposal companies who need to charge the retailer for this service.

Much of the tyre disposal in the UK is now carried out by members of the Responsible Recyclers Scheme, which is now administered under license by the Tyre Recovery Association. Members of the scheme guarantee that the tyres collected are disposed of in an environmentally friendly method, whether recycled or used as a fuel in cement kilns. As a guarantee, members of the scheme are subject to a stringent audit process conducted regularly by independent environmental audit specialists.

The Responsible Recyclers Scheme also promotes best practice in the tyre recovery industry and helps protect against the continuing scourge of fly-tipping.

In the UK around 40 million tyres are taken off car, vans, trucks and buses every year, a total of 440,000 tonnes. That is a huge amount of scrap to dispose of and it has to be paid for somehow. Although the UK tyre recovery industry currently has enough capacity to cope with scrap tyre arisings, the balance between overcapacity and undercapacity is relatively fine.

Of key importance in the tyre disposal market in the UK is The Landfill Directive, which was adopted by the UK in July 1999. This banned the disposal of whole tyres by landfill from July 2003 and shredded tyres from July 2006. This has changed the entire scenario of how tyres are disposed of and recycled in the UK and Europe. There are a number of ways in which scrap tyres are recycled in the UK although all of these can be defined as either reuse, recycling or recovery.

Retreading is still considered to be one of the most preferable method of tyre recycling as it effectively doubles the life of the new tyre, reducing the numbers of new tyres needed and thereby minimising waste. Retread still make up nearly half of all truck tyres on the road but the number of car tyres that are retreaded is now relatively small.

Other common uses for scrap tyres include sports and recreational surfaces, landfill engineering, carpet underlay/floor coverings, and road building. Roads manufactured using crumb rubber last longer, have better traction and reduce noise.

In the UK scrap tyres are also widely used as a fuel in cement kilns as an alternative to the traditional fuel, coal.

Chrysler s Top Three Mileage Misers

Cars.com has recently released their rankings of the vehicles that deliver the Best Bang for Your Buck and surprisingly three of the cars included are assembled at Chrysler s assembly plan in Belvidere. This is good news for Chrysler the producer of top-of-the-line Dodge Stealth partsespecially since there are doubts if it can really survive on its own. Being included in the list of cars.com which is a trusted site of customers who are searching for suggestions on vehicles to buy simply shows that Chrysler has some really great products to offer.
Anyway, in coming up with its Best bang for Your Buck list, cars.com make use of a formula that combined a vehicle s base sticker price with a calculation of its lifetime fuel costs. Jeep Patriot and Jeep Compass were the top two great buys for SUVs in the cars.com rankings while the Dodge Caliber was ranked second in the midsize listings.
Last 2006 the year when gas prices start increasing above $3 gallon, Japan s Toyota was able to take a big bite off the market share from Detroit s Big Three carmakers. And during that time the Big Three were so engrossed in trucks, SUVs, and minivans. Toyota has taken advantage of this and before the Big Three can act, the Japanese automaker was already taking over of the market.
Chrysler at that time was already offering the Dodge Caliber in the market. Unfortunately the Compass was just hitting dealerships while the Patriot didn t go into production until December---in short, Chrysler has very little products available in the market that can compete with Toyota s hybrid vehicles.
And for this year, it looks like gas prices will soar even higher than last year fortunately Chrysler is in a much better position right now especially with its Belvidere-built products.
It was last year that Toyota passed Chrysler as the No.3 carmaker in the US. The Japanese automaker has also taken the No. 2 spot from Ford and basing on the first Q1 result for this year Toyota has already surpassed GM as world s number one automaker. The huge bulk of Toyota s sales came from its highly fuel-efficient lineup of vehicles.
But basing on the cars.com rankings, when factoring in base sticker price, all automakers have their own models to brag about.
Going back to Chrysler, aside from its Patriot, Compass, and Caliber, its Dodge Charger is ranked at No. 2 in full-size cars while the Dodge Caravan is second in the minivan segment. On the other hand it was General Motors that has gain the top rank in terms of full-size car with its Chevrolet Impala. Ford has also led the list in the ultra competitive pickup truck category wit its Ford Ranger.
As expected Toyota headed the compact car lust with its Yaris and was ranked second in pickups for its Tacoma. Surprisingly, the Prius which is a hybrid that usually has a high waiting list for customers was just ranked No. 6 in midsize cars because of its base sticker price of $22,175 which is $4,225 more than the next highest priced among the top 10 in that category.
