Around 1979, tire-derived fuel (TDF) emerged as the first market for recycled tires. The fuel source consisting of whole tires or tire shreds mixed with traditional fossil fuel sources proved helpful in cleaning up tire stockpiles and providing an energy alternative. To this point, the high energy needs of utility boilers, pulp and paper mills, and cement kilns could only be met by burning large amounts of coal or other non-renewable fuel sources. Tire shredding equipmentis a powerful lineup of machines that regularly break down some of the most rigid recycling material.
Over the next decade, TDF remained the best and most effective use of old tires. 98% of the waste tires produced in 1990 burned as TDF. Although the number of tires used in TDF has continued to rise, advances in tire recycling have introduced several new recycled rubber products that now makeup over 50% of the tire recycling market.
