The invention of this application relates to a method for utilising tyres for vehicles whereby the tyres are introduced into a water such as rivers, seas, oceans or lakes, and thereby is used to improve the environment of the water and also the general environment. The method includes the step of cutting into and/or removing a portion of the rubber element of the type to expose the metal therein to the water when the tyre is submerged in the same. The exposure of the metal to the water allows the same to corrode and allows the introduction of elements of the metal into the water. This creates increased oxygenation of the water which, in turn, improves the quality, and, by photosynthesis, reduces the carbon dioxide content in the water and hence reduces the level of pollution in the same. Preferably a number of tyres are linked together to form barriers and/or reefs within the body of water and said barriers and reefs also act as a suitable habitat for marine and river life. The invention therefore provides a suitable utilisation for the vast quantity of vehicle tyres which are stored throughout the World at the present time. |
