BioCycle, Feb 1997 v38 n2 p70(3) Scrap tire market analysis. Michael Blumenthal. Abstract: A scrap tire market survey, conducted under the auspices of the Scrap Tire Management Council, reveals up to 850 million stockpiled scrap tires, of which the majority may go into production of tire derived fuel. However, the business outlook appears more bright for ground rubber products and civil engineering materials made out of whole/shredded scrap tires. Ground rubber finds application in bound rubber products, new tire manufacturing, rubber modified asphalt, athletics and injection molded products. Scrap tyres may be processed at a cost comparable to soil cost when used as fill materials. Article A19154204
