Getting new tires? Take a look at the receipt. If you’re turning in your old tires, you may notice a tire disposal fee. That fee was added to help cover the cost associated with the safe disposal or recycling of the tire. Yet, most of the one billion tires discarded worldwide end up in landfills, where they wreak havoc on our ecosystems and threaten our air, water, and soil quality. While tires can be recycled, it’s important to understand exactly what is at risk once they reach their end of life. 

Old Tires Outside of Landfills

Landfills aren’t the only place you’ll find discarded tires. Sometimes, tires are stockpiled at stores or dumped and left to rot. These tire piles catch and hold water, creating breeding grounds for mosquitoes and other disease-carrying insects. This accumulation poses environmental challenges and emphasizes the importance of implementing effective tire disposal and recycling methods.

Stagnant water within these discarded tires provides an ideal environment for the breeding of mosquitoes and other insects. These insects can carry and transmit various diseases, posing a significant risk to public health. Properly managing discarded tires is crucial for reducing the spread of diseases and safeguarding communities.

Recycled Tires Offer a Sustainable Roofing Solution

In 1999, the founder of Euroshield wanted to help solve the global problem of tire waste. After trial and error, he successfully transformed 70% of recycled tire rubber into strong and durable roofing shingles. This innovative approach has dual benefits: it reduces the number of tires sent to landfills and offers homeowners a long-lasting, sustainable roofing alternative. 

The beauty of Euroshield's roofing products is not just in their environmental impact but also in their superior performance. They are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions such as straight-line winds and hail, providing both durability and peace of mind for homeowners. One of the unique features of our rubber roofing is that we provide homeowners with a clear picture of their environmental impact. For each roof installed, we calculate and share the number of tires saved from landfills. This lets homeowners see firsthand the positive environmental contribution they're making by choosing Euroshield.
