| Abstract |
Tires, which represent only 1.5% of municipal solid waste, pose a special solid waste problem because tires are difficult to dispose of by conventional methods. A partial solution to this problem can be achieved through the reduction of tire waste. One waste reduction option suitable for this is retreading. The report reviews the topic areas pertinent to retreading including the mechanics of tire retreading, the performance of retreaded tires, improving retreadability, and the economics of retreading. Based on these topics the report evaluates the feasibility of requiring the Federal Government to use retreaded passenger tires. The report also examines the solid waste and energy benefits that would be derived by both the Federal Government and the general public through the use of retreaded passenger tires. |
| Highlights Notes |
Reviews the mechanics, the performance, and economics of retreading and evaluates the feasibility of using retreaded tires as a partial solution to solid waste reduction. |
