This increase primarily stems from the expanded operational scope and differing technological efficiencies compared to our existing facilities. While this has impacted our emissions profile, we are actively addressing this through investments in energy-efficient technologies and focused emission reduction strategies. As we continue to expand and better account for our emissions, we are reassured by the fact that our growth helps countless other organizations lower their own emissions profile. Recycled rubber provides an emissions savings by displacing virgin materials regardless of whether it is an industrial, infrastructure, commercial, or household use—as well as increasing the recycled content of products.
