Artificial Reefs and Highway Abutments

A discussion presented on the use of scrap tires for artificial fish reefs construction, and opposition has been carried out on this application [10]. A few years latter, it was said that some value is recovered from around 70% of the tires, with the rest going to the landfill. But in Europe, the Landfill Directive bans the disposal of shredded tires in landfills after July 2006 [11]. 

For highway crash barriers, the same Landfill Directive stands [11].
