Basics

  • Can also be written as "Tyre" but more google results for Tire
  • The most common type of tire
  • Often a form of Municipal Solid Waste, and can't be recycled easily as they are a Thermoset Plastic...that has also been Vulcanized
  • Very durable
  • Waterproof if cut into sections and/or made into a sheet
  • From the wikipedia page:
    • "Tires can trap methane gases, causing them to become buoyant, or bubble to the surface. This 'bubbling' effect can damage landfill liners"
  • Can they be used as a Molecular Seive ?!?
