BOWIE, Md. (Feb. 13, 2015) — The Tire Industry Association (TIA) supports a “competitive, market-based system” to manage the flow of scrap tires and scrap tire material, the trade group states in a position paper issued this week.
The free enterprise system of scrap tire management is highly successful today, TIA said in the position paper, with a scrap tire recovery rate approaching 90 percent.
TIA, together with its Environmental Action Council (EAC), drafted the position paper, “Scrap Tires and Producer Responsibility.”
