Liberty Tire Recycling | 2022 Environmental, Social & Governance Report 6 COMPANY OVERVIEW Processing for Beneficial Reuse Tires are then ground through cryogenic or ambient methods into smaller particles for a variety of end markets. That material is then distributed to customers globally through our transportation network. Creating Recycled Products Not only is natural rubber a limited resource, it contributes to deforestation, biodiversity loss and more. Recycled rubber products extend the useful life of tires and have a smaller carbon footprint than virgin alternatives. We recycle and repurpose tires into a variety of innovative products, including mulch, landscape edging, patio pavers, consumer products and more. Retail and Manufacturing Locations Achieving Circularity While there is still work to do in the industry to achieve full circularity, many of the products that we manufacture go back on the shelves of our retailers, creating a closed loop for product use. Collections Our fleet of more than 400 vehicles collect tires from more than 36,000 locations annually. In addition, tires may be dropped off at our locations for recycling. Gate Drop-Offs Route Collection Drop and Hook Sorting Once tires are received in our facilities, they go through a multi-point inspection. Tires with useful treadlife are segmented and go back into circulation as used tires. Tires that are eligible for recycling move on to our processing lines and those that aren’t may be sent to disposal.
