What is the states experience with tire-derived fuel (TDF)?
Currently, more than 80 facilities in about 30 states incinerate scrap tire material for energy recovery. A total of 130 million scrap tires were used as tire-derived fuel (TDF) in 2003, up from 25 million in 1990. For more information on states’ experience with TDF, see Where You Live, the Rubber Manufacturer’s Association, and the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission .
