In Molded and Plastic Products

In Road Surfaces

As an Energy Source

• Between 4 to 20 times lower carbon footprint than using virgin plastic resins
• Can be used to substitute for virgin plastic or as a filler
• 53 million tons of plastic resins produced annually in North America, and globally, a total of 23 millon tons of rubber
• Huge growth potential exists for the use of recycled rubber in molded products

• Almost 7 times lower carbon footprint than asphalt on a materials basis
• Ruberrized asphalt roads are half the thickness of conventional asphalt roads providing additional potential to improve the carbon footprint
• Has potential to reduce the rolling resistance of tires, thus reducing energy consumption of all vehicles

• 20% carbon footprint advantage over coal, but substantially more emissions than other fossil fuels
• Approximately 50% of electricity in the US is generated from coal, which allows for opportunity for rubber tired to decrease overall emissions.
