Scrap Tire Market in the United States


Welcome to the largest single source of facts, figures and information on scrap tire management and markets.


The tire industry is sensitive to the need to assist in promoting environmentally and economically sound end-of-life management, reutilization and disposal practices for its products. To promote the development of appropriate markets for scrap tires, RMA provides technical and policy information regarding several areas of scrap tire management, hosts national and regional scrap tire conferences for state and federal regulators, and advocates for sound state programs to address scrap tire issues.


RMA does not represent nor have any vested interest in the processing of scrap tires or in any product derived from scrap tires. RMA promotes the concept that scrap tires are a resource that can be used in a wide array of applications.
