Scrap Tire Management
in the Southeast
Every year, the Region 4 states face the task
of managing millions of scrap tires generated by the growing population
of the southeast. Fortunately, markets exist for the majority of these
scrap tires. These
markets include
ground rubber, rubberized asphalt, civil engineering applications, and
tire-derived fuel. Through these innovative uses of scrap tires, markets
for scrap tire material continue to grow throughout Region 4. Region
4 and the southeastern states participate in a national work group to
increase communications between state regulators, market development officials
and industry. The goal of the work group is to support existing markets
while continuing to seek out innovative new market ideas.
