Sorry, excuse the pun but cutting a tyre in half made my arms go all wobbly and took three hours to finish! Little did I know (probably as I’ve never had a car) that tyres are held together with very very thick wire!
Yes, this is ECOutlet’s latest quest to bring you innovative new products which help reduce our impact on landfill.
My local garage had a stack of tyres outside which were destined for the dump and kindly donated one so we’ve been wearing our thinking caps today and seeing how we could recycle them. We’re only at the experimental stage right now but stay tuned as we plan to keep you updated on our wheely good work!
For the adventurous and self-sufficient out there, I found this useful link on how to make sandals out of old tyres and for a wealth of other ideas, the ever useful How can I recycle this? has a list of suggestions from users on how to reuse old tyres.
