The recycled rubber produced by Liberty Tire is used for: Surfacing applications like sports fields, gym and hospital rubber flooring, athletic track surfacing, and equestrian arenas Molded products like landscape edging and pavers, lawn and garden products such as splash blocks for rain spouts, weightlifting plates, ADA-compliant thresholds, and the base of traffic cones Construction and civil engineering applications like asphalt, beneath railroad tracks, sound dampening, roadbeds, stormwater retention, and drain fill material Tire-derived fuel to power industrial kilns, paper mills, and power plants Mulch for landscaping and playgrounds A focus on environmental stewardship drives Liberty Tire to develop innovative solutions for end-of-life tires. Our work ensures end-of-life tires are repurposed to the greatest extent possible as we move ever closer to our zero waste goal. This process improves the overall environmental footprint of a tire by reducing the raw materials required to produce new products, thereby decreasing the waste sent to landfills.
