Wrapping the world 3.5 times with tires!

Did you know that 299 million tires in the U.S. were discarded during 2005.  That’s enough tires to stretch around the world at least 3.5 times.

What happens to all those tires?  How many go into landfills?  According to the U.S. Scrap Tire Markets 2005 report published by the Rubber Manufacturers Association about 86.6% of all the scrap tires were reused or recycled in some fashion.
