What is the life span of a tire in a landfill?

Question

I'm curious to know how long it takes for a tire to decompose in a landfill.

Answer 1

You need UV radiations to break the elastomeric grid of a tire. Without UV radiations, the decay of a tire is extremely slow and can be like 100´s of years.

Instead tires can be used as a waste fuel where the energy is recovered, the copper structure recycled and the sulfur in the elastomer bound.

Answer 2

100 years

Answer 3

Answer 4
