Tyres: The stealthy microplastic pollutant we never thought about
Tyre wear is the second-largest microplastic pollutant in our ocean after single-use plastic and accounts for up to 50% of PM2.5 emission from road transport. Tyres wear out from friction every time we brake, accelerate or turn a corner. The particles become airborne affecting our lungs. More are swept into our waterways and oceans eventually entering our food chain.
The Tyre Collective mitigate emissions by capturing tyre wear at the source to ensure clean air, safeguarding our environment and health.
