| What happens when a tire is no Ionger usable? Where does it go? Join Into the Outdoors Adventure Team as we investigate sustainabIe solutions for scrap tires. Every year over 300 milIion tires are discarded in the US. ln the past, they were thrown into IandfiIIs or dumped ilIegally. That's a Iot of waste! But today there are many ways scrap tires can be reused or recycled. The lTO Adventure Team travels to Michigan, CoIorado and Minnesota to learn how scrap tire disposaI is being managed. We Iearn why iIIegaI dumping is hazardous to human health and the environment. ln Minnesota, we learn about Tire-Derived Aggregate (TDA). It's durable, light-weight, permeable, and can be used in a variety of engineering and construction appIications. It prevents frost heaving, solves sinking soil issues, and can even be used to heIp clean storm-water contaminants. In Michigan and Colorado, we discover severaI other products made from scrap tires. Tires can be shredded into different sizes for use as landscaping, moIded products, road coverings, and more. lt can aIso be processed into Tire-Derived Fuel, 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! If we can find sustainable solutions for a materiaI like tires... what other environmental solutions can we come up with?! |
