Scirocco Central

As some of you may or may not know I am currently studying for a BEng with the Open University, my current course is looking at Innovation and sustainability. This requires completing a project around the course subject and I have chosen to focus on tyres, specifically their recyclability and construction.

Pretty please could you spare a few minutes to complete the following survey (its only 10 questions) to help me along my way. Thank you

Done & good luck. You'll feel guilty for not working 24/7 when its all done and dusted. I felt bad for watching TV for about a month after my dissertation.

this is my second degree (yes I am bonkers) have previously completed a BSc with honours
at least i'm only doing 1 module at a time with this one (can't manage anymore with work [& you lot ] aswell) but I still seriously struggle to get motivated to do anything unless i've got an impending deadline

Done. Good luck with the course.

Phew, that was hard work

Interesting tho. What does happen to the tyres once you've used up the tread? Sent round to various circuits to act as barriers?

some are put into landfill, some are burnt, some are retreaded & sold on as remoulds, some are recycled by being chipped up & used for pathways, kids playground floors

but there is a disposal charge attached as recycling is expensive (due to the separation of the rubber & steel) & only a small amount can do in landfill so the backlog is forever growing.
I would think that tyre walls are pretty much self stocked by the circuits & their competitors

Good luck with the project.

Through work one of our customers does tyre retreading for lorrys and construction vechiles. They've grown massively over the years.

thanks everyone i've actually now had more results than I can view without paying to upgrade so survey closed

Thank you
