Without them, our vehicles would just be a bunch of assembled parts — convenient to sit in, but not effective for getting where you are going.</p> <p>While their usefulness is undisputed, tires do come with some problems. A 2016 Federal Highway Administration report found 280 million tires are discarded annually in the United States. Globally, this number is much higher — over a billion, according to a report by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development.</p> <p>What to do with these end-of-life tires is an ongoing and often complicated conversation.</p> <p>Tires are composite materials that have a lot of components in them, including a molecule known as 6PPD, which provides UV protection to help the rubber found in tires last longer.
