I saw a fence here on CZcams made from used tires in Africa. Some use the treads as soles for shoes. Earthships use tires as part of their foundation walls. They are a kind of half- underground house. Docks use them against the dock wall to protect the wooden boats when they knock against the walls. Some use them as flower planters when half buried in the earth. Toxic trash is a world wide problem. The UN should study it. Also, when left lying around, they collect rainwater which then breeds mosquitos. If painted, like the ones in the African fence, perhaps the rare earth elements, etc will not escape?

I read a few years ago that companies were collecting old tires and turning them into rubber mats for autos, homes, restaurants, hotels, and fast food places. Good idea.
Best way to avoid mega-expensive errors is pilot programs that prove/disprove the concept while exposing weaknesses to address in subsequent attempts. In this case, it sounds suspiciously like getting rid of the tires was the "idea" and the reef was the "afterthought". Live and learn.

Used tires are being used to make railroad ties. The tires are cut, flattened, and pressed together under heat with a binding adhesive. These ties are termite-proof, strong, and reduce train noise

Geopolymer is concrete that has polymer like chemical bonds. They have already proven that grinding up the tire and mixing it with geopolymer makes a good wall, or any shape.
Combine the tires with organic garbage and sewage and make them into oil. That oil can be made into whatever kind of plastic is needed, or gas and diesel if you aren't a stop-oil nut.
Like the chemicals company which dumped hundreds of thousands of 55 gallons drums of DDT and dioxins wastes off the coast of Catalina island, California for 30 years while U.S. EPA did nothing.
great job they didn't think about the chemicals in the tire will release with time, people think before you do something stupid. they should clean all this up.
Should clean it all back up and recycle it. Pay the bills for the damaged and recycled tyre's could pay off half of the bills! It is rubber and can be recovered 🤷♂🤷♂
The reason the cost has increased is inflation! Furthermore, the arctic ice cap is at record high for both thickness and area. So much for global warming, lol.

After Bob got out of prison, he started his legal tire recycling business, where he warehoused them at $1 or $2 each for those he could not resell, then stacked them to the rafters, then closed the business, and started another. The owner of his former rental, would have to hire his new business, to remove the tires. So, the more tires he got, the more he got to move them again. At the end, third world countries eventually found they could make houses out of tire walls, so, he sent most overseas for a few more bucks. But at that point, it was no longer profitable, and he started other businesses. Most of his business, was formerly from handling tires 3 times or more.
How many more tires were dumped _without_ permits since then? It seems like it would have been a handy place to hide a few illegal dumps, especially when the tires already there were relatively new.
If you think about it... dumping tires in the ocean is probably one of the smartest things people can do with used tires. Tires are just concentration oil which more than likely started its life as plankton in an ocean anyway. In a way your just returning that carbon back to the bottom of the ocean instead of introducing it into the atmosphere.
