Bridgestone Tyres is playing a leading part in the recycling of its products and believes that every manufacturing organization has a responsibility to actively seek ways in which its products can be recycled for the better public good. Indeed, Bridgestone Tyres is fully committed to the sustainable re-use and recycling of its products. Moreover, as a member of the Tyre Industry Federation and Tyre Recovery Association, Bridgestone Tyres actively promotes the responsible recycling of its own products partners with various associates to help encourage this practice across the industry.
Bridgestone Tyres is fully aware that once its products are no longer fit for the road they have many other possible uses which can benefit both individuals and the business world in general. In fact according to Bridgestone Tyres, the responsible recycling of end-of-life tyres plays a fundamental role in the company's commitment to the environment. In support of this, Bridgestone Tyres has released a statement outlining its activities in this area which makes interesting reading; not just for the environmentally-minded motorist but also for the average consumer in every walk of life.
As with many other leading tyre manufacturers, Bridgestone Tyres has long been actively involved in the retreading of its products onto suitable carcasses and has gained a well-respected reputation in this respect. In addition to this long-standing activity however, Bridgestone Tyres engages in recycling operations in which tyres not fit for further service are reclaimed for various purposes across a surprisingly wide spectrum of uses with which you would not normally expect a name like Bridgestone Tyres to be associated. Nevertheless, this broad brush approach is yielding very good results.
Bridgestone Tyres lists the use of their recycled products in children's playgrounds, sports surfaces, running tracks and equestrian areas; all applications where the inherent flexibility of rubber contributes greatly to the performance and safety or the application in question. In addition, Bridgestone Tyres recycled products have also been widely used across the building and construction sector, where their products have been re-processed to act as a base for floorings and other building composites materials. Whole tyres made by Bridgestone Tyres have likewise been re-used in civil engineering for road embankments, coastal protection and sound barriers, whilst worn tyres have been collected and utilised as fuel for cement plant furnaces and in energy recovery at thermal power stations and incineration units.
