Check your tyres: you might be adding unnecessary microplastics to the environment
2023
Samantha L. Garrard
Summary
Researchers highlight that properly inflating car tyres reduces tyre wear, which in turn lowers the amount of tyre rubber microplastics shed onto roads and washed into the environment, suggesting a simple habit change can have meaningful ecological benefits.
Inflating your cars’ tyres properly isn’t just good for your bank account - it can minimise your environmental footprint too.
