> .. the study showed that in stormwater runoff during rain approximately 19 out of every 20 microplastics collected were tyre wear particles with anywhere from 2 to 59 particles per litre of water.
I’m curious, is there any real alternative tyre material technically possible to avert this? Or is this plain impossible given that tyres by definition need to be rubber-type-based whereby with friction it is inevitable that wear particles will be released.
