Markets for Scrap Tires
The three largest markets for scrap tires include tire-derived fuel (TDF), ground rubber applications/rubberized asphalt and civil engineering applicationsTire Derived Fuel
About 43% of scrap tires were consumed as TDF in 2018. TDF offers a viable alternative to the use of fossil fuels, as long as proper regulatory controls are in place. Major applications include Portland kilns (46% of TDF), pulp and paper (29%) and electric utility boilers (25%).
China has also been paid to take many among other third world nations. Often they get dumped somewhere else like plastics and other materials.
