Earthbound Tire Reclamation Company was established to manufacture and market apparatus used to compact ‘surplus’ tires so resultant volume of material is significantly less. Compacted material can be disposed of in a manner that requires less landfill space or, when combined with traditional construction aggregate, can be used as a residential/commercial building component.

The company is seeking external financing of $200,000 to achieve its goal of introducing its technology to the marketplace. With this modest initial investment, the company projects significant sales and profit levels by the completion of its 3rd year of operation.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The disposal of waste tires has become a troublesome problem for sanitary landfills across the country. Some methods of legal disposal have involved shredding whole tires with the intent to bury or stockpile the shreddings. However, landfill space is at a premium and state laws are currently regulating the disposal of waste so as to diminish the number of tires in landfills. Scrap tires are becoming an expensive nightmare for local governments. Scrap tire dumps can be extremely dangerous, and state regulations are making these dumps expensive to run.

Average tipping fees in some states in the U.S. range from $50 to $60 per ton, resulting in excessive costs for scrap tire disposal. Waste tires have become one of the most challenging components of the waste stream to manage. Whole tires that are buried tend to ‘float’ to the surface of the landfills, jeopardizing any hope of land reclamation. When improperly managed and stored, waste tires are a perfect breeding ground for rodents, snakes, mosquitoes and other pests. There is also a very real potential for fire at improper sites.

The public often assumes that the tires collected or gathered for recycling eventually will be reborn into new products. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. While there are companies that accept tires for processing (for a fee) only a few sell the reclaimed components for stock in the manufacturing process. Many such firms chip or shred waste tires and then landfill the material, passing the tipping fee and processing cost on to the original supplier.

According to estimates made by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC), 15 million scrap passenger tires and 1.4 million truck tires are generated annually in New York. In addition, NYS DEC estimates that 19 to 38 million scrap tires are stockpiled at sites all across New York State. While productive uses (via energy recovery and recycling) are known, and more are emerging, none have reached a level of market penetration that diverts a significant quantity of tires from disposal (legal and illegal).

There are three categories of market applications for tire derived rubber: 1) as a fuel substitute/supplement in coal-fired boilers; 2) in civil engineering applications; and 3) in the manufacture of commercial rubber products. Earthbound Tire Reclamation Company believes the utilization of spent tires for civil engineering applications, specifically applying company technology is the most environmentally safe and economical approach to tire disposal or reuse.
