Tires that have reached the end of their lifetime are usually recycled,
but in Kuwait, they are dumped into one of the biggest landfills on
earth in Sulaibiya area near Kuwait City. Every year gigantic holes are
dug out in the desert and filled with old tyres. There are already seven
million tires out there. The expanse of rubber is so vast that they are
now visible from space.
