About Tire Particle Capture Device

The Tyre Collective developed this patent-pending device to capture tire wear particles directly from vehicle tires. Tire wear is the second-largest microplastic pollutant in oceans and a major air particulate threat. The device addresses a critical environmental gap by intercepting particles at their source.

The device uses electrostatics and airflow to capture particles generated during acceleration, braking, and cornering. Friction between tires and roads charges particles, enabling electrostatic collection. This approach directly targets a pollution source conventional filtration systems miss.

Key Features

• Also uses patent-pending electrostatic technology for particle capture.
• Furthermore, the device fits directly on vehicle tires during operation.
• In addition, it collects particles without requiring exhaust-based filtration systems.
• Additionally, it addresses pollution growth from electric vehicle battery weight.
