The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation announced a grant of $750,000 for Tennessee Tire Recycling in Lebanon from the state’s Tire Environmental Act Program.
According to a news release from the state, TTR, a division of Rockwood Sustainable Solutions, will provide matching funds of $914,170 and use the grant for purchasing equipment related to the hauling, collection, and transportation of tires between counties.
The company will increase its hauling capacity through the purchase of a truck, trailers for collection, and a mobile grinder. The project will allow TTR to recycle 700,000 tires annually.
The purpose of the Tire Environmental Act Program is to fund projects that result in beneficial uses for waste tires. Projects must qualify for one of three categories: tire processing/recycling, tire-derived material use, or research and development.
According to the news release, approximately 3.6 million tires or nearly 42,476 tons of scrap tires have been diverted from landfills. The tires are repurposed for use in rubberized asphalt, tire-derived aggregate, tire-derived fuel and granulated rubber porous flexible pavement.
