View of tyres and scrapped cars in a scrapyard
Scrapped cars. View of tyres and scrap cars in a scrapyard. The cars are waiting to be recycled. They will be compressed and shredded to form bales of steel which will then be sent to furnaces to make new steel. Very few tyres are re-used or recycled, the vast majority are stored on sites like this or placed in landfill sites

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vast collection of scrapped cars and discarded tyres in a scrapyard, offering a thought-provoking glimpse into the world of recycling. The scene depicts rows upon rows of abandoned vehicles patiently awaiting their turn to be transformed into something new. These cars will undergo an intricate process involving compression and shredding, ultimately forming bales of steel that will be sent to furnaces for the production of fresh steel. While this image highlights the remarkable potential for reusing materials within the automotive industry, it also sheds light on an environmental challenge. The overwhelming majority of tyres find themselves either stored in sites like this or left to decay in landfill sites, with only a small fraction being recycled or repurposed. This serves as a reminder that there is still much work to be done in finding sustainable solutions for tyre waste management. Through its composition and subject matter, this photograph from Science Photo Library invites us to contemplate our consumption patterns and consider more environmentally friendly practices. It underscores the importance of embracing recycling initiatives not just within the motorcar industry but across all sectors. Let this powerful visual serve as inspiration for promoting greener choices and fostering a circular economy where resources are reused rather than wasted.
