ELT Supplies
An estimated 13.5 million tonnes of tyres reach the end of their lives every year (End-of-Life Tyres: ELTs), this figure includes all kinds of tyres from passenger car tyres to truck tyres and giant tractor and earth moving tyres.
The number of ELTs has been growing steadily and this trend is expected to continue in the future especially in emerging economies.
All over the world local and national efforts are being made by governmental authorities, the tyre industry, and individual manufacturers to manage ELTs, and good progress is being made, although in many areas there is still much to be done.
