Each year, Quebec’s vehicle owners scrap approximately
7 million tires, which corresponds to approximately 8.4 million
PTE (passenger tire equivalents). The 2002-08 Program of Integrated
Management of Scrap Tires diverted nearly 7.3 million PTE in
2005-06. The remainder (approximately 1 million PTE) is destined
for export, generally to developing countries.
