WE SUPPORT THE CIRCLULAR ECONOMY
FOR THE FUTURE!
A circular economy is an economic system powered by minimizing waste and making the most out of of resources. This regenerative approach is in contrast to the traditional linear economy, which has a "take, make, dispose" model of production.
WHY A CIRCULAR ECONOMY IS THE SUPERIOR SOLUTION
According to the Ellen Macarthur Foundation:
“The circular economy is a system where materials never become waste and nature is regenerated. In a circular economy, products and materials are kept in circulation through processes like maintenance, reuse, refurbishment, remanufacture, recycling, and composting. The circular economy tackles climate change and other global challenges, like biodiversity loss, waste, and pollution, by decoupling economic activity from the consumption of finite resources.” Read more here.
Core Principles Of the Circular Economy:
· Design for Longevity: Products are created to last longer and be easily repaired.
· Resource Recovery: Emphasizes recycling and recovering materials at the end of a product's life cycle.
· Systems Thinking: Encourages viewing the economy as interconnected systems rather than isolated parts.
Through our work at TireCore, we know that a “cradle to cradle” business model does not mean a drop in quality for consumers and can be achieved without loss of revenue or extra costs for manufacturers. Our circular business model is as profitable as linear models and allows consumers to continue enjoying similar products and services with less environmental impact.
How Retreading fits in the Circular Economy
Retreading is very environmentally friendly. It reduces the use of oil and other raw materials in tire production and reuses materials that otherwise would have been in the landfill for hundreds of years or otherwise disposed of.
OIL - Retreading conserves oil. The synthetic rubber components in a new passenger tire contain seven to eight gallons of oil. Retreading the same tires uses only two to three gallons of oil! The manufacture of a new medium truck tire requires approximately twenty-two gallons of oil, but it takes only seven gallons to retread. Every year in North America, the use of retreads saves hundreds of millions of gallons of oil.
LANDFILL - Millions of tires that would end up in tire piles or in landfill continue their useful lives for thousands of more green miles.
HOW TIRECORE KEEPS THINGS ROLLING
At TIRECORE we see the environmental benefits of “Keeping things Rolling”
Since it’s inception, TIRECORE has aimed to lead the circular economy efforts in the tire industry and further maximize the use of truck tires and material to their fullest. We repurpose product to be used again and again.
TIRECORE has since become a leader in the procurement of high-quality domestic and import truck tire casings for the retreading industry, including National domestic collection of casings from certified company procurement agents, affiliate brokers, local commercial tire companies and tire recyclers.
