📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of the Environment promotes the recycling of end-of-use tires to promote responsible waste management in the country.Used tires have become an increasingly visible environmental problem. When their useful life ends, many people do not know what to do with them and, in many cases, they end up abandoned on streets, banks or informal dumps, generating pollution and risks to public health.
The Ministry of the Environment (Minam) warns that these wastes, composed mainly of rubber and other potentially toxic substances, are not biodegradable and can remain in the environment for up to 1,000 years if they are not properly managed.
What can you do with your used tires?
If you have unused tires, dont abandon them. You can take them to authorized establishments or collection points enabled for their correct environmental management.
Check here the official list of management systems approved by Minam for the collection and storage of out-of-use tires:

Through recycling and recovery, used tires can have a second useful life. For example, they are transformed into material for tracks and roads, sports surfaces, safety floors and an energy source for some industrial activities.
Minam also recommends some simple practices to extend the useful life of tires, such as maintaining proper inflation pressure, periodically rotating the tires, and performing vehicle maintenance and alignment.
These actions improve road safety and reduce waste generation.
For the Ministry of the Environment, each recycled tire is an important step to reduce pollution and promote responsible waste management in the country.
