We are in the process of setting up a used tyre recycling plant in South Wales, UK. We plan to collect used car tyres and then to shred them into crumbs and granulate for recycling. If anyone is interested in either having their tyres taken away or in buying rubber crumb or rubber granulate please contact me.
I am inviting comments from people in waste management about the current state of UK legislation regarding the reuse of waste tyres for other purposes.
