Building sustainable recycled tire markets

Article Abstract:

Several states set up programs to clean up stockpiles of scrap tires during the 1980s and 1990s, however when subsidies ended many of the scrap tire markets dried up. Wisconsin generates around 5 million scrap tires a year, and tire derived fuel (TDF) was the main market for the tires, but when subsidies ended, six of the nine plants with drew from burning TDF. States that have been successful in developing sustainable tire recycling programs have focused more on supporting, but not subsidizing market development.
