This is how the tire mafia poisons nature
Environmental problem car tires. Are we heading towards a huge waste disposal scandal?
We all depend on rubber tires. Public transport, car sharing, taxi or your own car. Our consumption is huge. Almost 700,000 tons (according to the Federal Environment Agency) of used tires are produced in Germany every year. Once they are worn out, we simply replace them. For the sake of the environment, the old tires are then professionally recycled or used in another way, right?
Incorrect!
Our research shows: there are mountains of old tires in nature, everywhere in Germany. Heavy metals and microplastics, an extreme burden on the environment. Criminal waste brokers offer the disposal of worn-out tires at prices that make professional disposal impossible.
We are in the middle of a waste disposal scandal. Undercover. With GPS tracker and hidden camera.
