New Scientist, Nov 20, 1993 v140 n1900 p13(2) Scarp tyres: a burning issue. Fred Pearce. Abstract: New methods to dispose Britain's annual 25 million scrap tires have to be disposed as old methods such as tire retreading, tire dumping and tire burning are ineffective and damage the environment. Illegal scrap tire disposal into rivers and streams cause environmental damage. A new energy generating tyre incinerator that is relatively environment-friendly can resolve Britain's tyre disposal problem. Article A14868591
