Each year, ECORE recycles over 80 million pounds of scrap tire rubber saving over 1 million barrels of oil and keeping over 2,000 trailer loads of discarded tires out of our nation’s landfills.
Recycling that many tires and saving over 1 million barrels of oil is equal to heating 600 homes for a year!
It takes half a barrel of crude oil to produce the rubber for just one truck tire.
Producing one pound of recycled rubber versus one pound of new rubber requires only 29% of the energy.
