Tyre wear particles have been identified as one of the most significant sources of microplastic pollution. In some areas, estimates suggest that tyre wear particles may account for over 50% of microplastics emitted to the environment. Once released into air, soil and water, these particles are almost impossible to remove, and they contain potentially harmful chemicals that can leak to the environment and affect the health of people, species and ecosystems.
