The accumulation of these tyres and plastics in legal or illegal rubbish dumps, converter these areas en fertile breeding ground for roaders, reptiles and flyers, in some cases even dangerous as transmitters of ills as dengue or malaria, which lives quietly in stagnant water surfaces in these tyres.
So far it has been tried to avoid this, burying the tyres and plastics in sanitary landfills; the problem in this case is double, since the tyres occupy a lot of volume in the landfills, and because their degradation time is very long, 600 years in the case of tyres and several thousand years in the case of plastics. Another solution that has been used is to incinerate them either to fight the effects of frost on crops, thus causing damage to the environment and the health of human and animal populations by the toxic substances that an uncontrolled combustion gives off. Finally, some cement plants and / or thermal power plants use them to improve their final products or as a source of energy but in a crude way in which harmful substances are generated and the potential that this raw material has is wasted.
