Welcome
The facts about End of life tyres Every year 40,000,000 tyres are removed from vehicles in the UK. And every year, the number of tyres that are illegally dumped increases. A large number of these tyres end up in landfi lls, despite the EU Landfi ll Directive ban. Dumped in large volumes, tyres can rise to the surface of the site - creating instability and affecting its long-term settlement. This causes problems for future use and land reclamation. And there’s the added threat of leaching from the organic chemicals contained in rubber. To add to the problem, millions more tyres lie dumped in stockpiles around the country generating another hazard to the environment.
What we're doing about it We created Revolve to help reverse the threat that end-of-life tyres pose to the environment. We are a responsible collector, with the correct waste collection and disposal licences. And we provide tried – and trusted – disposal routes for anyone faced with the task of dealing with end-of-life or scrap tyres. Whether you are a tyre retailer, operate a scrap yard, run a garage or a specialist tyre supplier, we’re here to help. In fact we can help anyone wanting to reduce the risk of environment pollution.
Total, sustainable solutions There’s no doubt that scrap tyres are a substantial waste management challenge. That is partly due to the high volumes of tyres coming off the road. And partly because of the performance properties that are built into tyres to make sure they are safe and durable. But there are ways we can manage the problem, and turn it around full circle. It’s not only about reusing, or even recycling. It’s about reinventing. Our job is to help make sure that scrap tyres is not a problem for future generations to worry about. We’re up to the challenge. And we believe you are, too.

Every tyre recycled represents a sustainable direct action Transforming tyres into alternative materials represents a permanent, effective solution to the challenge of irresponsible end of life tyre disposal. It is also a perfect resolution, compared with retreading, allowable land filled engineering and alternative fuel, which causes secondary pollution. There are no wastes emissions during the recycling process because of dust removal, separation and filtering systems that completely separate three materials in waste tyres: 3 3 3
rubber, steel wire and nylon fibre
The threat of environmental pollution is totally eliminated and all the by-products are reused as day to day merchandise which can be recycled at the end of their useful life.
