Used tyre disposal in the UK is a growing environmental concern. This review examines current methods, their health effects, and suggests future policy improvements for waste vehicle tyres.

Area of Science:

Environmental Science
Waste Management
Public Health

Background:

Used road vehicle tyres present a significant environmental challenge.
Increasing issues with fly-tipping and large, combustible tyre dumps are noted.
A lack of comprehensive disposal policy for used tyres in the United Kingdom exists.

Purpose of the Study:

To review major tyre disposal methods.
To assess the environmental implications and health effects of each method.
To propose future UK disposal policy and monitoring strategies.

Main Methods:

Literature review of tyre disposal methods.
Analysis of environmental impacts.
Examination of health effects associated with tyre waste.

Main Results:

Most used tyres are landfilled, stockpiled, incinerated, or crumbed, with limited retreading.
Each disposal method carries distinct environmental and health risks.
Current UK policy is insufficient to manage the growing problem of used tyre waste.

Conclusions:

Urgent policy development is needed for used tyre disposal in the UK.
Further monitoring is essential to assess and mitigate environmental problems.
Sustainable disposal practices must be prioritized to address health and environmental concerns.
