Frequently asked questions
Are part-worn and recycling tyres the same product?
No. Part-worn tyres are inspected for further road use. End-of-life tyres go only to recycling or energy recovery.
How are tyres quoted?
Part-worn and casings by unit count and size mix; end-of-life tyres and shreds by weight.
What is the minimum order quantity?
It depends on the product and the lot. The minimum quantity, price and delivery terms are set out in the written quotation.
