Sustainable Tire Recycling in Spain
Tire recycling is becoming increasingly important as countries worldwide focus on sustainability and reducing waste. In Spain, the tire recycling industry is thriving—and at Volaltegir, we’re proud to be pioneers in this essential movement.
What Happens to Used Tires?
Millions of tires are discarded every year. When recycled efficiently, these tires become a source of raw materials like rubber, steel, and fiber—used in construction, landscaping, and energy.
The Tire Recycling Process
- Collection: We gather used tires from auto shops and collection centers.
- Processing: Tires are shredded and separated by material (rubber, steel, fiber).
- Reuse: Materials are transformed into rubber mulch, asphalt, or energy sources.
Environmental Benefits
- Reduces landfill waste and pollution risks
- Prevents oil and chemical leakage
- Saves energy (up to 30% vs. using raw materials)
Economic Impact
Tire recycling fosters job creation and supports local businesses. Volaltegir contributes by exporting recycled tire products and promoting circular economy models in Spain.
Join the Movement
We believe in partnering with local governments and citizens to improve recycling education and infrastructure. Our mission: a greener, cleaner Spain.
