Tyre recycling for consumers

Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. Used tyres are waste, with costly logistics and processing. So you can take your tyres to back-collection points free of charge, and their environmental recovery is paid for by tyre manufacturers and importers.

The answer to this question is twofold:

1. Yes, conventional tyre burning is very bad and produces large amounts of substances that are hazardous to health. In any case, do not try to use tyres as a substitute for solid fuels in your home.
2. However, the use in cement factories is certainly not bad. The combustion temperature is so high that tyres burn completely without residue within seconds. The remaining materials such as iron and sulphur bind to the product produced when the clinker is fired and so there is also a material recovery.

Unfortunately, that is not possible. Your tyres have accumulated in connection with your business and therefore cannot be taken back to the collection points. You therefore have two options. Have the tyres disposed of as the waste and pay for their disposal or join one of the networks of collection points. You will then become a collection point and the tyres from your customers can be dropped free of charge at your place.

In the Czech republic, the end customer can hand in the tyres at the tyre back-collection points. You can choose any back-collection point from the ELTMA or GREEN tyre back-collection network.
