End of Life Tyre
An end of life tyre (ELT) is a tyre that can no longer be used for its original purpose or retreaded. ELTs are processed into rubber crumb for sports surfaces, used as fuel in cement kilns, or recycled into new rubber products. The UK generates approximately 55 million ELTs annually, making responsible processing a significant environmental obligation.
