| What happens when a tire is no longer usable? Where does it go? Join lnto the Outdoors Adventure Team as we investigate sustainable solutions for scrap tires. Every year over 300 milIion tires are discarded in the US. ln the past, they were thrown into landfills or dumped iIlegaIly. That's a lot of waste! But today there are many ways scrap tires can be reused or recycled. The ITO Adventure Team travels to Michigan, Colorado and Minnesota to Iearn how scrap tire disposaI is being managed. We Iearn why iIlegal dumping is hazardous to human heaIth and the environment. ln Minnesota, we learn about Tire-Derived Aggregate (TDA). lt's durable, Iight-weight, permeabIe, and can be used in a variety of engineering and construction applications. It prevents frost heaving, soIves sinking soil issues, and can even be used to help clean storm-water contaminants. ln Michigan and Colorado, we discover several other products made from scrap tires. Tires can be shredded into different sizes for use as Iandscaping, molded products, road coverings, and more. lt can also be processed into Tire-Derived FueI, which provides even higher BTUs than coal. Sometimes environmental issues feel like mountains, but with creative ideas and working together, we can make a difference! lf we can find sustainabIe soIutions for a materiaI Iike tires... what other environmental soIutions can we come up with?! |
