Tire Collection & Disposal: Market Size & Forecast 2026

The category sits in a structurally tight balance: roughly 1.5 billion end-of-life tires enter the waste stream annually against a processing base that recovers approximately 80 percent of US-generated scrap and 95 percent under EU Extended Producer Responsibility frameworks.
