Liberty Tire Recycling | 2023 Environmental, Social and Governance Report 36 ACCELERATING ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP Environmental Highlights Since 2012, Liberty Tire Recycling has collected an average of 159 million tires annually. In 2023, we collected 205,814,488 tires - that means we’ve collected enough tires this year to go around the world 3.7 times! In 2021, members of the U.S. Tire Manufacturing Association (USTMA) reported a utilization rate of 71% for end-of-life tires, with the balance being sent to landfills. Liberty Tire Recycling achieved an industry-leading 74.4% utilization rate in 2022 and in 2023, our percent to market/utilized has increased to nearly 80%. While our goals are ambitious, it is noteworthy that, according to the USTMA, only lead batteries and cardboard are recycled at higher rates than end-of-life tires. End-of-life tires continue to find end uses at a higher rate than glass, plastic, aluminum, metal, and paper.
